The addresses for the terminal server and bud were identical.  The time the
message was generated was less than one hour after the last time 'travel'
had logged on to the system, so it's a good bet he was still on at the time
it was sent also making it a high probability that he did indeed send it.
Only the admin at indirect.com knows for sure.

Because of the type of list server this is on, it can easily be spammed with
a UseNet news server.  If 'travel' spammed from UseNet, the postmaster at
Indirect is REALLY busy right now; mailbombing's a bit extreme, especially
if they're already getting 100's of complaints [which is mailbombing in
itself]!
