Classic problem with spam. An innocent user responds to a piece of spam. The spammers then begin forging the spam as being from that user's account.

Does anyone have the headers sitting around for the spam? > Reposting is exactly what you have done. Don't repost SPAM ever - it's still > spam. If you need to follow up to a spam email quote it at least. Many > netusers are trigger happy if something looks like spam. I doubt that user posted the spam. Dave Brown
