That's alright... I know who did it now.

This kind of thing exposes xfce and my mail server in a way I never
envisioned and it gates two ways. Not something I will ever do again
after the clist debacle from a couple of years ago. I am still getting
spam sent to that list in spite of the fact it has not existed for more
then two years and it is something that will NEVER be repeated!
