[tor-relays] Fwd: Tor Guard Relay

[Keifer Bly]

 I just scanned the picture files using Avast, which I use a a lot and it
is a pretty great anti virus program based off of my use with it. Here is
the contents of the email in programming code; I don't know about other
email services but in Gmail this can be retrieved by signing into the web
version (in a web browser) clicking the more options button (next to the
replay button) and clicking "show original".

>From what I can tell looking at the code, it is encoded using base64 and
the ip address of the web server it was sent from is 104.161.37.109.

However, as for telling anything else, it seems like that would be
difficult to do without the right equipment. Let me know what you think.

Again it's a link to view it on Google Drive as the list doesn't seem to
allow attachments being sent to it. Thanks.
