Scheidell) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.bugs Subject: FORGED SPAM. READ BEFORE MAIL BOMBING ME Date: 27 Sep 1994 15:05:00 GMT Lines: 30 Message-ID: <369cas$ojv@tequesta.gate.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: inca.gate.net X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] PLEASE READ THIS. I DID NOT MAKE THAT POST! This posting did not come from our office, but we are tracing it. If you look carefully at headers you will find sites that don't exist, and see that it does not trace back to scheidel@gate.net. We have a good idea of who it is and some admins are helping us trace it by comparing the posting on their machine to other postings. If you have the time and ability to help us trace this, we can give you info on who is doing it and maybe try to pressure HIS site to drop him. Again, I did not do this post, and we have taken great pains to avoid offending anyone, and to date this is my first flame, even if undeserved. I thank those who looked at headers and saw it was a forgery, and look forward to a solution to this. NOW TIME TO PAUSE AND PONDER: Seems like every time I get too full of myself, someone helps to humble me and remind me, that I too am just a sinner saved by the grace of God. NOW BACK TO BUSINESS: ps, reply with subject line "hacker" to avoid auto reply. -- Michael S.
