All this talk is not exactly true, as this is a mailing list and so the
mailing list would deliver to your system, and roach is not sending
spam. Couldn't you follow the trust as in this example.

hackboy.com is my isp (for this example) and acm.org is my forwarding
address

assuming we can trust complete.org and acm.org and hackboy.com to not
fake email headers, this spam was sent from tisi.go.th (unknown
[203.154.78.1]). So know what would/should we do?

"God."
"What?"

"I used to eat there. Really good noodles. I have these memories from my
life. None of them happened. What does that mean? Trinity: That the
Matrix
cannot tell you who you are."

"And an Oracle can?"
"That's different."
