And you are confident that those headers weren't spoofed?

Spam is a part of life online these days. A good spam filter, like a good
killfile, goes a long way in reducing stress.

I've had a few that came from Verizon servers, the majority is from
their clients direct:

Received: from pool-70-105-16-229.rich.east.verizon.net ([70.105.16.229])
From: "Amado Holloway"
Return-Path:

Verizon now verifies all incoming mail, shame my "major provider" email
accounts don't do the same...

Charter and Adelphia outpaced Verizon today, a rare day...

I've run the tests and also have AnalogX's NetsStatLive
program. Speed varies, depending on the server I'm
downloading from and the time of day. I consistently see
over 300 KByte/sec on most servers and on a good server,
I've seen about 575 KByte/sec (the meter on FreshDownload).
Just plain timing a 7 MB download of a video, is fast.

Similar figures with charter. What you get when you ping a test site, or
whatever rare fast server is not the real test of what you are able to do,
in reality.

In reality, (so I've been told) the majority of servers limit your rates,
usually in the 350 to 780 range. For the occasional super fast download, I
find it hard to justify the extra cost, but I still pay it...sigh.

I hate to go OT on this, but I have to admit that a good spam filter would
increase my quality of life. g What do you use?

I'm running OE.

Yep. Just a harvesting spoof.

Gimme an area code and a prefix, I'll see what I can offer...

Granted it is hard, sometimes, when I come home from teaching, and feel like
I had to restrain myself from beating some snot-nosed kid to a pulp (that
the parents should have done already), and have to restrain. There is only
so much restraint in a day!
