Well.

Let's see.

>>Received: from oracle.us.oracle.com (oracle.us.oracle.com [144.25.88.100])

144.25.88.100 doesn't resolve, and oracle.us.oracle.com doesn't resolve.

>>Received: by edr.oracle.com (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4)

edr.oracle.com doesn't resolve either.

Oh, good. GOOOOD idea.

Spreading unconfirmed rumors like this - and yes, it IS as yet unconfirmed, and I have my doubts whether it is real due to the possible forged headers - can get people into a lot of legal trouble.

I would strongly suggest against telling Sandy Dreskin anything unless you know beyond the shadow of a doubt that Jason Durbin sent that message.
