[kwlug-disc] Trace spam email back to source

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

The From address can be forged, so it is not necessarily that his email is
hacked.

If you look into the email headers, which in Gmail are under 'Show
Original', they may give a clue as to what server it came from.

But don't spend too much time on it, since it can be anything.
