I am running majordomo version 1.94.5 on Red Hat Linux 7.1 with sendmail 
version 8.11.2.

It appears that em5000 and at least one other outfit has managed to figure 
out how to attach outgoing SPAM to legitimate outgoing posts from my users 
to a legitimate list.  These abusers are not in my access.db and do not 
have Cw records in my sendmail.cf.  I found out about it when a "failure 
notice" was sent back to the list owner citing email addresses that are not 
in the list.

I'm working with a wizard to try to figure out what this exploit is and try 
to find a way out of it.

Has anyone on this list had a similar experience and can you give me some 
clues?

Thanks in advance for any helpful hints.  I know you folks are usually very 
clueful!

       -  Tom
