dtrump@tpalace.com

I was searching for something else when a really old mail message caught my eye.

It was a message from dtrump@tpalace.com, with whom I was not previously familiar. That dtrump address sent me two messages in July and August 1997, both about an income opportunity with which I could get rich.

I'm not sure the messages are genuine. They're unsigned, of course, and the chain of Received fields is difficult to analyse reliably at this point. I also don't know to whom tpalace.com belonged at the time (the oldest information I could find is from 2008).

If there existed a host named tpa-us14d4.tpalace.com with IP address 111.243.5.2 in 1997, I would guess that the spam really came from, uh, tpalace, whatever tpalace was.
