It is coming remotely. Thunderstone is a company that sells some kind of
text retrieval product for SQL servers. Doing a search of files containing
"thunderstone.com" in my iMail spool directory shows that this has happened
twice before. The first time the emails came from "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".

How are they able to do this? I have checked 'relay for IP addr only'.

I've sent an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] asking if they know what
is going on.

Ever heard of mail header spoofing?  You can't trust any mail headers.
