The "from" header seems to be forged, but you can go to http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=express&Netnic=whois.arin.net&host=24.222.194.126 to see a nice detailed tracert of the common nntp posting host for these messages.

If it were me, (which it never would be), I think I'd use a free dialup account rather than an expensive easily traceable cable-modem account to spam usenet. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
