What "authorities"? Their ISPs? Easy. Look at the headers and find the NNTP Posting Host. Looks like you use Outlook Express so I can't tell you how to see the headers, but if you use Agent, when viewing the message, just mash the "H" key and voila! headers...

Here's are the headers from your original post:

NNTP-Posting-Host: 71.245.140.212 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is where the message was posted from. A simple nslookup or whois from various web pages will tell you who the IP belongs to. I didn't look it up, but I bet it's an Earthlink IP. :)
