Summary: What's the deal here?

The FROM lines look like this: From iuvax!rutgers!ucsd!ucbvax!LBL.GOV!carl%CitHex.Caltech.EDU%KL.SRI.COM%lbl%sfsu1.hepnet Sat May 28 19:45:55 1988 From: carl%CitHex.Caltech.EDU%KL.SRI.COM%lbl%sfsu1.hepnet@LBL.GOV The contents of the messages posted invariably consist of up to 40 "Received from" lines, a la "bounced" e-mail. I conjecture that this user's account has been removed, but not his Mail forwarding record. I don't know how to decipher all the percent-signs and greater-than signs and whatnot in that path -- this is the most TWISTED address I've seen on the net to date. Can SOMEONE PLEASE contact this person or site and alert them to the problem? This newsgroup fills up fast enough as it is, without having to worry about many-headered duplicate messages. Thanks in advance, Chris Chiesa -- UUCP:!{iuvax,pur-ee,uunet}!bsu-cs!cfchiesa cfchiesa@bsu-cs.UUCP
