We'll assume the mail is a genuine one. X-Mailer: Assistly Support Platform Message-Id: <[email protected]> From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Return-Path: <[email protected]> These point to desk.com and/or assistly.com as being the origin. Seems a respectable enough business, Received: from smtp.gmail.com \ (ec2-174-129-125-98.compute-1.amazonaws.com. \ [174.129.125.98]) Gmail received the mail from a cloud-based machine Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain \ of [email protected] designates \ 209.85.220.182 as permitted sender) and is happy enough with it to use one of its machines to pass it on to your account. I do not understand why Subject: is different from the Re: Install a package from testing? in your mail at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/04/msg01825.html Also In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> is puzzling because this is the Message-id: for msg01825. Now for dates and times (taken from gmane) of the four posts in that thread: Nick Meyers 2012-04-28 22:19:58 GMT Chris Knadle 2012-04-28 22:56:41 GMT Camaleón 2012-04-29 11:20:23 GMT Camaleón 2012-04-29 11:50:52 GMT In the body of the fourth post is Apr 29, 2012 11:21AM UTC which presumably is the time at which joe1assistly claimed to receive the mail. This is about a minute after the third post in the thread. We can do a check with http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2012/04/msg01793.html where the date/time given in the body of the post is Apr 28, 2012 10:08AM UTC The second post in the same thread was made at 2012-04-28 10:07:31 GMT Coincidence? I'd be looking at something happening in the interaction between the poster and gmane. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
