Are you saying they weren't posted via Google ?

I dont know if they were or not. But they do not have to be posted via
google as the are a usenet group and google groups is simply the
reader. As I understand it, and I am not claiming any expertise at all.

USCF google group has just such a posting. It is even a video.

"Rob" fails to tell you that the posting was made by himself. He wants
people to join his group. Here it is:

Much has been claimed lately. Anyone can easily fake an IP address.
This video shows you how it is done.

Is it possible for spammers to forge the IP address in a received line
of a header? The reason I am asking is this: I have been receiving
spam complaints from various people where the received line claims to
have come from one of my IP addresses. However, nothing in any log
corroborates this information. The system had been an open relay for a
while, but that had been closed down about 2 weeks ago with a POP before
SMTP solution. I am watching the spammers hammering my mail server on a
dialy basis trying to spam through me, but the logs for that show at
least they are getting relaying denied errors. I think that perhaps
they are ****ed for losing their open relay and are relaying from
somewhere else but forging the headers with my IP to get me in trouble.
This is becoming increasingly frustrating because even a line by line
analysis of the maillog suggests that the mail was not sent through my
system.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Yes, absolutely everything can be forged, except for the first
(connection) (From )line generated by your system.

Even that can be subverted by using IP spoofing on the originating
end, but proper firewall/router configurations will deny a connection
claiming to be local from outside..

And since you refuse to reveal what he allegedly wrote, the only
evidence we have that such a statement was made or that it was false
would be, let's see, your unsupported assertion. Sam doesn't know any
better. You do.

The essence of what Mr. Truong wrote was addressed in my attorney's
letter
which has been made public, as you no doubt know.

Ah, yes, and I'm sure _your_ attorney described the matter in a
completely fair and objective manner. (Pause for uncontrollable
mirth.) Without knowing what was actually said, there's no way for us
to determine whether the statements were actionable or true. I guess
we'll have to wonder whether this was a legitimate complaint, or just
another abuse of the legal system for purposes of harassment (Sam
Sloan with a bath and a new suit).


You'll just have to suck it up and continue to wonder.

Yet another unsupported assertion.

So, you admit that the e-mail has NOT been "made public".
