>Yeah, I'd agree.  It sounded like flame bait when I read it.  Nevertheless,

No one said it was flame bait.  Spammers are getting smart enough to
use forged email addresses, so their accounts will last a bit longer,
and so that their ISP will survive.

I'd doubt it was as simple as this.  More likely, they just forged the
header information.  If they did it well, you'd have to go to the
log files on the ISP to see where they came from, and even then it
may be a while.  If *I* were going to launch a spam, I wouldn't use
the account of anyone where I work or go to school--I wouldn't even
use a mail server in this country, if I could avoid it.  However,
I may use a temporary account to do this obfuscating leaping-about....
Finally find a use for all those free CompuServe accounts I keep
getting :)

Adrian.
