Normally, if you use SPF records to check incoming mail, then that stops this kind of indirect mail. A mail server _can_ set a "From:" header to anything but its "From " header should be a domain it is authorised to serve. (The analogue is the "sender address" versus the "post-office stamp" --- faking the latter is a criminal offence!). > any user spamming the list with invites from yaari / hi-5 whatever shall be > immediately unsubscribed and also banned from subscribing in future - yes / no I think Akarsh and Parthan have made some valid points --- so "no" is my response.
