I too have received spam sent from or through dialsprint.net. Apparently there
was no To: line. That z2k01.zcom.com.tw (z2k01.zcom.com.tw [203.67.40.253])
looks like another case of an open relay. Maybe most Outlook and Outlook
Express users don't look at the headers; sending through a relay in a far-off
country gives it away as junk. If they were legit, they could use their normal
server. I didn't receive the same spam, at least not yet, but I can remember
receiving spams offering to mass-email my message for a price. If you go in for
their offer, you don't know if they really will send your message to 1,600,000
email addresses for $960, or 3,000,000 email addresses for $1500. They might
just take your money, close their bank account shortly thereafter, and disappear
into the cyber ether.
