Send us the links to the archives of Leah's posts, in which she
says she is running that firewall.

Provide the complete headers of those e-mails which conclusively prove
the e-mail actually came from her and was not forged/spoofed.

Just provide the evidence here. You'll need to provide the complete
e-mail headers.
I you can't or won't substantiate your position here, with the hard
