Indeed - a reply-to would have been nice. Anyway, you could try
asking PacBell who this belonged to at the time:
>> Received: from dude (adsl-68-122-105-17.dsl.irvnca.pacbell.net
[68.122.105.17]) by sunportal.sunmanagers.org (Postfix) with SMTP id
0BBE41E68E for <sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org>; Thu, 25 Sep 2003

I am sure that forging email addresses is not in the AUP.
For what it is worth Mr. "Dude" aka Bill Gates, you should be able to
use the same technique to pick the machine and time that the forging
happened and back track. It is difficult, not impossible, to properly
forge a smtp address - sometimes more Received headers may be added
to try and confuse the trail so beware and make sure you read the
headers carefully.
