As the registrant of the domain name busby.net, I advise that the above
shows that the From address is forged.

The path also shows that the message did not originate from us, as the
path via our ISP, WASP, would be indicated in the From path.

We do not have any email address named program.

The only email address within this domain name that is legitimately
subscribed to the linux-aus list, is my email address.

I do not send email messages in multi-part format; I send only in plain
text format.

The offending messgae had attachments. I suggest that the mailing list
application be configured to reject any message posted, that includes
attachments.

I similarly suggest that any messages that are in HTML format should be
similarly rejected by the mailing list application.
