The detective in me, which might be defective :), says someone is trying
to post under your address. (Tring to get you into trouble??)

I take it you've not posted anything to anyone about these subjects??

Where's dca5.dca.gov.au .gov = government, .au is that Australia or
Austria??
Your DNS thingy shows as FreeNet.Carleton.CA so I don't think you sent
it.
Tried doing a traceroute on it??
Maybe you could try using dejanews to search for * dca5.dca.gov.au *.
And * David Berry AT MPAU@CMCA *.
That might be his tactic for defeating spam. Probably should be
mpau.cmca, if someone is trying to be "funny" the might not have noticed
the @ instead of . thing.
And * komea AT dca DOT gov DOT au *.


You could always email postmaster AT dca DOT gov DOT au and tell them about it,
asking who's David Berry.

Didn't the actual message get bounced back, if I get a bounce back my
server sends the entire message back.

BTW I like this kind of thing, so I'm off to search for him/her myself.
