I need some help as well folks ,,,if anyone knows feel free to contact me directly at:
lee@imyourhandiman.com
I am moderator/owner of a list at egroups and I suspect with valid reason someone of masquerading as someone else but indeed I'm wondering
that they are same person that I had to remove from list recently...the email in question is below ( I wasn't sure where else to verify this
sorry for offtopic!!!!!! )
I"ve noted one odd thing.......the email header is displayed at end of email...i've forward things to myself but noted the header is not
there at end of forwarded email....anyway i thought that info might be of intereset in answering my question......obvoiusly i'm not
"completely" sure about how to verify this for sure and hoping someone is.......see below:
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
...or maybe I can try MANUALLY forwarding it since AOL doesn't like to
forward mail either! Sorry for the 'double-post'...

the guys message body was here i see no reason for privacy to display but it was in here :-)))))))))
but the email header is below just as in message that came to list.....i wasn't sure if the header was
"part" of the actual forwarded message OR if it indeed is the header from the email of the guy that forwarded the email to the
list.............

Spamcop likes 216.67.71.57 as the host/originating system.
You can't go by the from, reply-to or to headers as they
are too easy to forge.
Try running it yourself -- http://www.spamcop.net. Free for
minimal access. If you want any of the "extra priveleges"
you can become a paying member (I am. <G>)
