How OLD are the lists spammers use? The stock spam below was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] cu20b was retired in 1987!
The lower Received header is faked. columbia.edu resolves to external-smtp-multi-vif.cc.columbia.edu, but that's a virtual interface, not a host. No Received would ever have "by external..." in it. This is a variation on the recently described Received forgery. We have been checking already for "by columbia.edu" in Received, and I will add this variation today.
