How the hell did the poster "customize" his address to ...ummm...fit the post???
not hard at all...by telnetting in to port 25 of a system on the net, you can talk directly to that systems sendmail...mail is passed in ascii format...few systems require a HELO (identifying the system telnetting in)...then you simply type in the mail headers manually...combine this with the fact that some systems let you post to usenet by email, and you can do just about anything and be untraceable (i think, anyone know for sure?)... i am sure that there are other ways to do this...i don't know how usenet news is passed, but i suspect this is also done in a similar way so if you know the port number and the format, you could do it like that...
