I haven't even had to time to check yet, but
faking the sender address
should be good enough to get on the hecnet list, but it does require
knowing the address of a subscribed member, as the hecnet list only
allows posts from subscribers...
Given:
To: "hecnet" <hecnet at update.uu.se>,
"hellwig.geisse"
<hellwig.geisse at mni.fh-giessen.de>,
"helmkera" <helmkera at gmail.com>, "hobbyist" <hobbyist
at montagar.com>,
"hoshina_minmi"
<hoshina_minmi at yahoo.co.jp>,
"hpb-ohio"
<wpd58nb6r69ccqy at marketplace.amazon.com>
its apparent that they got "lucky" with the hecnet list this time.
As I said, this has been around for some time, for example on the nanog
list.
