I don't know who this person is, but I think that it's horrible to
accuse him of being a spammer.

I host several domains on my server.  There is no way that the owner
one domain would accept anything but their domain in the
from/replyto, or any other part of the headers (except the very
first Received: from, which is my machine name).

How about, instead of attacking someone, and in the spirit of
"LinuxChix", we just help the person out and keep our accusations
and negativity to ourselves?
