I got privat e-mail from "Heidi" claiming that the header-post was forged. E-mail being completely un-authenticated, I cannot tell whether it was the header-post to CRIME or the private e-mail to me that was forged, but it's likely that at least one of them was forged :) So until it shakes out what's really happening, lets not take anything from "Heidi" too literally, as it may not really be from Heidi. Of course, you have know way of knowing whether this post really came from "Crispin", either, other than my unique pithy sense of humor :) Crispin Seth Arnold wrote: >Why send the full headers of received spam to this list?
