Actually, the list in question includes  a server which is routed through
SEARN but  no longer exists, leading  to a bounce from  MAILER@SEARN with
full header  info. People  keep writing to  [log in to unmask] for
more info  and more log  correlation and promise  that they will  sue the
perpetrator to make  a precedent, etc. But  so far I have yet  to hear of
any lawsuit, for the very simple  reason that the traces invariably point
to dialup123.xyz.net, and you don't know  who was calling it at the time.
In  most countries,  acquiring or  releasing the  information to  a third
party requires a warrant. And your sole evidence is a piece of electronic
paperwork with obscure symbols and one dialup123.xyz.net somewhere in the
middle. What is the next step?
