well,
thats more or less what I thought.
However, I was able to ping that address and traceroute it back
at the time I sent the e-mail. so it was active, if only for a few hours.
in fact, as I type this, I am able to pingthat address...
I know most of the tricks for spoofing headers, but spoofing a path on the e-mail
is a whole different critter. I did send a query to sprintbbd about it. won't know until
tomorrow (monday) what the results are.
