Steve, I received your message sent directly to me, but not through the Arachne list. I didn't receive anything through the Arachne list in close proximity to your message, figure Arachne list must be or have been down. So I send CC to you so you get the message even if the Arachne list is still down.
It is especially annoying to receive the same spam multiple times or to receive huge spams. In the past few days I received a spam promoting that chain-letter pyramid scheme from a domain ending in .cz, three times, 135 KB each time. Bulk of the message was a quoted-printable MS-Word .rtf attachment. Even if I felt taken in by the prospects of making big money, I might not have been able to decode the snail-mail addresses to send money to. If your message with its headers had been a spam, I wouldn't really know who would be appropriate to complain to. Crossing international borders makes tracking down and prosecuting spammers very difficult, no doubt. Authorities could set up a sting for some of the worst ones, like the Nigeria scam. In recent times I get a lot of spam from Korea, as evidenced by the charset, "ks_c_1987-5601" or "euc-kr", much more than I get from Taiwan, and I don't seem to get any spam from China, though I get spam originating in other places and using open relays, some of which are in China. Do you use fetchmail, and if so, where do you have fetchmail direct mail to, since I don't think you can set fetchmail to download directly to a file?
