The machine in question 'bohm.anu.edu.au', has 10000 student accounts on it any of whom could have sent the message, and the machine being a news server could be used by anyone else on this campus to send the message in question. I'm sorry, but I think we are unable to do anything in this case. > From gerdw@cougar.vut.EDU.AU Wed Apr 9 16:17:17 1997 > Return-Path: > Date: Wed, 9 Apr 1997 16:16:07 +1000 (EST) > From: Rev Dr David Gerard > X-Sender: gerdw@cougar > To: postmaster@carno.net.au, webmaster@carno.net.au, postmaster@anu.edu.au, > postmaster@bohm.anu.edu.au > Subject: Forged cancel of an article of mine > X-Lines: 59 > Status: RO > > > Your news server has been used to forge an article of mine posted to > newsgroup alt.religion.scientology; I suspect a Scientologist didn't like > what I had to say. > > If you can identify who the canceller was, you may care to watch in case > they try again - I have reposted the article in question. > > The cancellation was posted through newshost.carno.net.au, and the > NNTP-Posting-Host, 150.203.21.88, is bohm.anu.edu.au . > > Your assistance in dealing with these forged cancels would be welcomed. > > Also, another cancel for the same article was sent out from bull.fr - and > notice how in both cases they have misspelled 'Mesaage-ID'. > > > - d. > > > [this letter also posted to aus.net.news and alt.religion.scientology] > > > > >From cougar.vut.edu.au!matilda.vut.edu.au!news.rmit.EDU.AU!harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au!newshost.carno.net.au!news Wed Apr 9 16:06:02 1997 > Path: cougar.vut.edu.au!matilda.vut.edu.au!news.rmit.EDU.AU!harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au!newshost.carno.net.au!news > From: fun@tertius.net.remove_this_spamtrap_to_email.au (David Gerard) > Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology > Subject: cmsg cancel > Control: cancel > Date: 8 Apr 1997 04:12:30 GMT > Lines: 2 > Message-ID: <5ietbl$745$1@clarion.carno.net.au> > NNTP-Posting-Host: 150.203.21.88 > Mesaage-ID: > Xref: cougar.vut.edu.au control:844140 > > Cancelled > > > >From cougar.vut.edu.au!matilda.vut.edu.au!news.rmit.EDU.AU!harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au!news.mel.connect.com.au!melba.bby.com.au!nrchh45.rich.nt.com!hammer.uoregon.edu!news-peer.gsl.net!cpk-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!cam-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!news.bbnplanet. > com!cam-news-feed5.bbnplanet.com!cass.ma02.bull.com!soprox.bull.fr!news Wed Apr 9 16:06:13 1997 > Path: cougar.vut.edu.au!matilda.vut.edu.au!news.rmit.EDU.AU!harbinger.cc.monash.edu.au!news.mel.connect.com.au!melba.bby.com.au!nrchh45.rich.nt.com!hammer.uoregon.edu!news-peer.gsl.net!cpk-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!cam-news-hub1.bbnplanet.com!news.bbnplanet > .com!cam-news-feed5.bbnplanet.com!cass.ma02.bull.com!soprox.bull.fr!news > From: fun@tertius.net.remove this spamtrap to email.au (David Gerard) > Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology > Subject: cmsg cancel > Control: cancel > Date: 8 Apr 1997 04:12:30 GMT > Lines: 2 > Message-ID: <5icobi$247u@soprox-in.bull.fr> > NNTP-Posting-Host: ns.artnet.net > Mesaage-ID: > Xref: cougar.vut.edu.au control:842074 > > Cancelled > > > > ; David Clarke - David.Clarke@anu.edu.au Here : x8390 ; The Australian National University, There : (06) 279 8390 ; Canberra, Australia Everywhere : +61 6 279 8390 ; ; "You are not ready for immortality." - Kosh, Babylon 5
