Subject: Thank you for your report

Hello:

After examining the headers for this case, we have come to the conclusion 
that it did not originate from NETCOM. The From line has a NETCOM 
address, but this is a forgery.

The address that it has originated from is uu.net.  Please send 
complaints on this issue to abuse@uu.net. 


To determine the server where a forged email originated, check the last
received line of the mail.  As an example:

> Received: from mailhost.net.com(net.com(alt1.net.com(208.9.77.65)) by
> net.com (8.8.5/8.6.5) with SMTP id GAA02542 for ;
> Sun, 06 Apr 1997 19:30:51 -0600 (EST)

The first machine named is generally the source of the email, in this 
example:

        alt1.net.com

Generally, only the last two words of the address are the domain, in this
example, net.com.

You can then use the command

        whois 

in UNIX or enter the domain name into the form at the URL:

        http://rs.internic.net/cgi-bin/whois

to see if it is a valid site, and if it is, you can send your complaints
there.  If you do not have UNIX or access to a web browser, check with your
ISP's technical support for an alternative way to check.


Thank you

Matt
