Can you figure out where you posted the message?

Part of the problem with reporting this is that what you received is not
/exactly/ a misdirected bounce, as you were the 'originator' of the
message which bounced -- except that you didn't send your message to the
server which bounced it, but I think you are saying you sent it to a
newsserver somewhere.

The 'offending' server is actually a linux group's server
news-gateway at lugnet.com

But, I can't find the original newsgroup posted item, so perhaps it was
posted to a webforum or something like that.

I think it would be more worthwhile to figger out what is going on here
than report the 'innocent' server which received something which it
shouldn't have received.

This isn't a 'normal' misdirected bounce.
