Jerry we love you. How could you die!
Friggin netcom.com idiots, someone should pull that site right off the
net after all the trouble they cause. About 200 or 300 of these
forgeries came in the linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu, trust me I am
hassling netcom.com as we speak for real answers. Check out the
annotated headers below for the info.

Return-Path: we.miss.you@jerry.garcia
Ok, forged return path, not to difficult to do...
Received: from vaxa.cis.uwosh.edu (vaxa.cis.uwosh.edu [141.233.128.1]) by vger.rutgers.edu (8.6.12/8.6.12) with ESMTP id XAA20463 for <linux-kernel@vger.rutgers.edu>; Thu, 10 Aug 1995 23:16:08 -0400

Whoa! This vaxa.cis.uwosh.edu site decides that it will forward the
mail for the netcom5.netcom.com person. This is odd. He could have
hard-coded the routes in the origional header which I wish I had.
That PMDF vax mailer probably lets one do all sorts of fun mail
routing tricks...

Since the netcom'er forged the entire header, the uwosh.edu vax machine
decided to fill in pieces that it though were bogus, tis why the
message-id appears to be from the uwosh.edu machine.
