Not bad. I am going to guess this is really from Scott Holder
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> though.
Yes the X-Original-Message-Id has
<v03130302b9e92c12d8d1@[129.37.39.156]> and the 129.37.39.156 is a
mindspring.com IP address, not an AOL IP address. So unless Linda
suddenly got a mindspring account and has decided to use it to really
confuse us even further, this message was most likely from Scott. :-)
Actually, one can also forge the X-Original-Message-Id without too much
difficulty. As I understand it the listserve takes the incoming message
ID and simply forwards it as the X-Original-Message-Id. All one needs
to do is lie a little BETTER to the listserver. :-)
If folks want a demonstration, I will. Anyone want to volunteer their
e-mail address? Since I use earthlink, it would be a good idea if it
were an address not associated with earthlink. I am asking for a
volunteer since I do not want to make anyone mad by usurping their
address without their permission, even if temporarily and in a limit
set of circumstances like this. I will send it to the list as well as
CC to myself. I will then forward both sets of headers so everyone can
compare the two. While the CC'd message will leave tracks, the message
the listserver sends should not have much in the way of identifiable
information.
