    Indeed - a reply-to would have been nice. Anyway, you could try
    asking PacBell who this belonged to at the time:

    >> Received: from dude (adsl-68-122-105-17.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net
            [68.122.105.17]) by sunportal.sunmanagers.org (Postfix) with SMTP id
            0BBE41E68E for <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org>; Thu, 25 Sep 2003

    I am sure that forging email addresses is not in the AUP.

    For what it is worth Mr. "Dude" aka Bill Gates, you should be able to
    use the same technique to pick the machine and time that the forging
    happened and back track. It is difficult, not impossible, to properly
    forge a smtp address - sometimes more Received headers may be added
    to try and confuse the trail so beware and make sure you read the
    headers carefully.
