The email address means little. Email systems will accept whatever you
type in. What's more meaningful is the originating IP address. That's
hard to fake. Most mailers have a "show headers" feature so you can see
all the machines that the email passed through.

This underlines how important it is to use an e-mail program that
displays the originating address. That "you've won a ..." e-mail
from a major retailer is quickly revealed to be from some obscure
address (not Home Depot or Walmart, after all). A couple of days ago,
I received a message purportedly from a relative of my sister-in-law,
who passed away last fall. Happily, the originating address was a
giveaway - "Amanda Rosman <alberto.garci...@alumno.buap.mx>".

I don't know if anyone else on the Elecraft list is receiving this
nonsense, but I have reported it for enforcement action to the UK
