I got this mail, and I'm in the UK.  I don't know about casper@nl, but
over here, it traversed a network that's for non-commercial use only.
This is simply unacceptable.

I notice the following things:

a) the To: field is global.list@gwinnett.com - clearly it is 'gwinnett'
   (a private network provider?) who maintain this mailing list
b) 'global.gwinnett.com' and 'gwinnett.com' are not listed in the DNS
   as machine names, but both of them have MX records for
   'emory.mathcs.emory.edu' and 'hubcap.clemson.edu'. Maybe someone
   ought to talk to these universities.
