Here is a trivial example of how to 'fake it': my $SENDMAIL = '/usr/lib/sendmail';
open (MAIL, "| $SENDMAIL -t -F Sneex -f sneex\@mac.com") || die ("$0: Can't open $SENDMAIL: $!\n"); print MAIL <<_1EOBAAA; From: sneex\@[EMAIL PROTECTED] To: sneex\@mac.com Subject: perl mailing... ....iudicium ferat... _1EOBAAA close (MAIL); exit; __END__ But that is beside the point; the point I suppose was to warn people that someone may be intentionally posing as Perl community characters. Sorry for the noise. -Sx- On Saturday, September 7, 2002, at 09:22 PM, Brian McNett wrote: > One of the reasons I've rejoined this list (after a longish > hiatus) is that my current job involves analyzing email headers > for patterns commonly occurring in spam.
