Thanks.

The message appears to have been sent directly from McDonald's mailbox.
Haven't heard yet if the font was courier (implies it was sent from
OWA55). If the culprit sent it via O.E., then the source IP can be
traced back to the internal host.

Tim.

if they check the message header of the email they will see whether it
came from within the organisation  it will be blank if it was internal.
If it is from a SMTP spoof site it will have details from out side the
organisation.

Here's a little something some of you may enjoy this fine Friday.. put
on your investigator hats..

My wife forwarded this message to me:

ahem.. *chortle* ..well, in any event, "Arthur", VP (Very Pissed), wants
a head on a pike. I will offer to him (via my woman) the following
likely prospects:

1) The culprit got direct access to OL2k on the desktop;
2) The culprit knew Arthur's username & password;
3) A confederate Exchange Admin granted "User" or "Send as" permission
to culprit
4) Culprit spoofed the message from an SMTP srvr, or used a similar
serve from the web.

Feel free to presume the obvious; and I can pass along a few details
that have be provide me. Care to contribute?

Tim.
