ok people, don't even try to guess where the message came from.
The reason I say this is because people are using a technique called ip
spoofing.
it's accomplished by somebody using the standard proxy ports either 1080
23 or 80 or 8080
people make a nucence of themselves by doing this and because of this
technique it's harder to track where things such as DoS "denyal of
service" attacks and spam originate from.
and as some of you well know, it doesn't take much to change email header
information.
so, let's not second guess here.
Shaun.
