Just send a _polite_ mail to postmaster@unm.edu informing him/her of the posting and append it to the mail. If the postmaster is worth his/her salt s/he will patiently explain the rules of Usenet to dano@hydra.unm.edu or dano@unm.edu, preferably with a read hot branding iron. If that does _not_ work, _then_ one may consider using the well-known education methods of the Usenet. On the other hand maybe someone used dano@hydra.unm.edu's account illegitimately ? We recently had a case in germany when a well known biff tried to fake the address of the poster in a posting which was meant to incite people to send hate-mail to the faked address. Yes, H.
