Yes, to some degree or other. I got most of the information from the header
of the message:
Message-ID: <38E5893F.2DB15EED@gate.net>
Date: Sat, 01 Apr 2000 00:29:35 -0500
The Message-ID line gives the URL of the computer that sent the message to
the newsgroup. I can then use the "trace" utility to find the path from my
computer to that computer, and by looking at the URLs of the intermediate
computers, I can usually deduce the physical location of each. The time
zone given in the date provides a cross-check of the location.
X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.51 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.6 i586)
This line says that the person is using the "Mozilla" newsreader version
4.51. Mozilla is the name used by the Netscape newsreader. The [en] means
it is the English-language version, and the (X11; I; Linux 2.2.6 i586) gives
the operating system, in this case Linux 2.2.6 (the current version of Linux
is 2.2.14). The "i586" means that the version of Linux was compiled for a
586 (Pentium) or similar computer.
X-Original-NNTP-Posting-Host: 199.227.92.57
X-Trace: 30 Mar 2000 23:20:15 -0500, 199.227.92.57
I'm sure I could get some useful information out of these lines if the
version of the "trace" utility would work with IP addresses in addition to
URLs.

Is the trace utility a "standard" unix command?
Btw. wouldn't unix's nslookup 199.227.92.57 give some info?

Yes. Unfortunately, I'm using Windows right now since the modem that came
with my computer doesn't work under Linux.

I'm currently using the "Sam Spade" and "Spike" network utilities
collections. The two of them together provide a fairly comprehensive set of
utilities.

The IP address of the computer that posted the message to the povray.org
news server was 216.202.195.127
Your ISP is Fort Wayne Internet, LLC
You are in the time zone GMT -4 (Eastern Daylight Time)

False. That's the IP address of the proxy server I was using. The
computer that was running slrn has an IP address of 10.0.0.2 (which
isn't routable) and the IP address of the machine whose keyboard I
was sitting at is 207.51.177.81. In this case, I own the proxy server
(and it's configured securely) but it's possible, even likely, that
someone else is running an improperly configured proxy server that I
could have used to completely hide my IP address.
>Your ISP is Fort Wayne InterneT, LLC
True. That was the easy one, just a quick whois at arin.net. Again,
though, trusting the IP address. (If I wanted to be a real pain, I
could mention that Fort Wayne Internet doesn't exist anymore, as they
were bought out by Skyenet.)
>You are in the time zone GMT -4 (Eastern Daylight Time)
False. Fort Wayne is in GMT-0500, Eastern Standard Time, all year round.
The times on that message were inserted by the news server, which is in
the EDT zone.

I know. I said that that was the IP address of the computer that posted the
message to povray.org, not the computer that you were working at.
