From the headers on the recursive spam email, it was sent from a bogus
address thru mci.net, and a traceroute on earthstar.com reveals their
upstream provider is sprintlink.net. So I sent complaints to
postmaster@sprintlink.net and abuse@mci.net
The volume of "hey I got that message too and this is the only public forum
in which I participate" responses I've rcvd re: my original message is
making me rethink my position and once again beleive that this list is the
source of _some_ spammers lists, namely emerald@earthstar.com.
