I know people are tired of hearing from me, but I can't let *this* go unchallenged: Excerpts from mail.cypherpunks: 30-Jan-96 Re: FV Demonstrates Fatal F.. "Paul M. Cardon"@fnbc.co (580*)
Interesting address that was used to reach me.
To: pmarc@nsb.fv.com To: pmarc
Somehow, both reached me from within their system, but if they can't configure their e-mail to show the proper address than I don't have to much faith in their other abilities. I don't imagine that anybody else would have much luck replying to either of those or CAN I now receive mail at nsb.fv.com? Is this a new free service provided by FV?
Bogus mail addresses of that kind are typically added by all sorts of mail relays. In other words, although I can't tell you 100% for certain without seeing the mail headers, the scenario underlying this was probably something involving a bogus mail relay. Alternately, there are some systems where this could have all happened entirely on your end, in your delivery software. There are a zillion ways this can happen, actually. I've checked my archive, and that address definitely was not in the mail when it left my system. I can guarantee you that it wasn't our system that did this. If there's one things we know cold, it's email. -- Nathaniel -------- Nathaniel Borenstein <nsb@fv.com> Chief Scientist, First Virtual Holdings FAQ & PGP key: nsb+faq@nsb.fv.com
