   Hmmm....... 206.34.175.254 is actually AT&T.....  Yup, I'd say
complain upstream at EDS that supplies NEWNET, but he might be with
AT&T now.    Get in touch with NEWNET anyway because the may be so
lame as to have let this guy know who was complaining. ( I had a
Canadian ISP do that to me once ....  That time the spammer didn't
forge headers or make threats.   I just complained again to the ISP.)
The act of this guy's threat is a more serious crime than spam alone.
Federal offence I beleave....
