Who knows of this email header stuff?

It's got a faked sender address. It didn't come from General Dynamics. It came from a Comcast account.

Also, no "Preston Ward" turns up in a search with General Dynamics.

The email address is in the correct format for their servers. (Mark.Meudt@gdit.com is a media-contact. Note the period separating the first and last name.)

The location of the sender is wrong. It should be coming from Virginia, not California.

...AND you never sent them a resume AND it came in at an address that you don't use for that kind of business.

Congratulations. You've just verified your email address for a spammer/phisher.

It got to Comcast from gdit. [198.185.182.20 (anteon.com is a general dynamics company)

Received: from hq-ipt01.anteon.com ([198.185.182.20]) by IMTA21.emeryville.ca.mail.comcast.net with comcast id YGyD1b01w0SotAW0MGyEtv; Fri, 27 Mar 2009 16:58:14 +0000

My guess is that olnacl's email address that this was sent to is a comcast account (which might be forwarded to a gmail account based on the headers)

The senders address is in exactly the form that you are saying it should be.

Return-Path:
So you're saying that General Dynamics is a phising operation? From those email headers, exactly where is the phisher's email account that will receive this?

Please expand upon how you came to that conclusion.
