The att.net dial-up is involved even in oscva.orbital.com. Another 
site also in the att.net thing is: smtp.gte.net as in:

Received: from smtp.gte.net (unverified [206.124.65.252]) by 
ec2.earthchannel.com ; Sat, 22 Mar 
1997 10:26:18 -0500 Received: from smtp.gte.net 
(230.los-angeles-005.ca.dial-access.att.net [207.147.204.230]) by 
smtp.gte.net (SMI-8.6/) via SMTP id JAA10235

In addition 
to subscribing, the forgeries are also sending information files and 
file requests to the victims. I have turned off all file requests, 
just in case a new site turns up and requests 100's of file sends 
swamping my connection to the net.
