Justin reported an open FAA relay. I verified that it was open yesterday and fired off mail to the FAA postmaster (hopefully not opening myself up to legal responsibility under some new "anti-terrorist" draconian rules). While anyone used to reading headers is used to going down a few "Received" lines, as Justin points out: Having genuine reverse-resolvable FAA
IP addresses in headers is bad

such ridicule in place.
