For your info..

There were two article in Phrack Vol 41 regarding faking SMTP mailers...
I think you been had.  One was an "Anonymous Mail Poster" by Sir
Hackalot, and the second was "The POWER of Electronic Mail" by The
Racketeer.

Either article gives you enough info to spoof anyone's mail to anyone
else.
