It doesn't tell you who sent the email to start with. And in this case, SpamCop got it wrong; that's much more likely to be someone responsible for nvg.ntnu.no, since the email originated from a German ISP. ie don't send abuse reports to that address. ;-) -- Paul "Computers may be stupid, but they're always obedient.
