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.
You like that zillion word when you can't quantify something.
I can guarantee you that it wasn't our system that did this. If there's one things we know cold, it's email.
C'mon Nathan. It was in the Received headers generated at your end. I agree that it COULD have happened on our end, but it didn't. I've never seen anybody with such an arrogant attitude. BTW, it looks like it has been fixed now. :-b --- Paul M. Cardon MD5 (/dev/null) = d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e
