Warning: Faker from SDRC.COM trying to incite mailbombers

If you've been recently flamed with some illiterate ramblings, please
check headers before retaliating. Yesterday I got this email:


:          id 838769773:06933:1; Wed, 31 Jul 96 00:36:13 BST
:Received: from sdrc.com ([146.122.132.195]) by punt-1.mail.demon.net id aa06748;

:Ken,

:  I saw your post on rec.autos.simulators, talking to that guy about Win95 and
:GP2.  I just want to know what the hell you think you know about computers, much
:less and operating system as difficult as Win95.  That's what is wrong with you
:***in foreigners, you think you know everything, stay the *** out of the U.S.
:newsgroups you loser!!!!!!!!!!!

:Eric

Note that the header and the "From" address do not match, and when I
politely but pointedly emailed the From address, he informed me he had
received quite a bit of hate mail, and by searching
http://www.racesimcentral.net/, I find there are only two Erics in the SDRC
domain, but neither post to rec.autos.simulators, so I'll have to
leave it up to the postmaster at SDRC to sort that one out.

Has anyone else got similarly faked abuse?

Ken
