The message that he recieved sounded similar to the ones that I
recieve when I report spammers through spamcop.net. The
messages that I receive from the individual ISPs always sound the
same (actually I don't even read them anymore, I just delete them
right away). That's why I said that it looks like somebody signed
up with [EMAIL PROTECTED] as their address.
If it had been a spammer using his address, I don't think he would
have got the message from hotmail, I think it would have went to
whomever sent the message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just try it,
send any bogus message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and see what
you get back. If it is a message like Michael forwarded, then we
know that is probably the case.
