Why would you send it there? Every single instance of the Nigerian scam I've seen originated from a different IP range than the From: address. Matter of fact, I got two today. One "from" a brazil address, and one "from" a sweden address. Both actually originated at inetnum: 202.149.215.32 - 202.149.215.63 netname: SCHOOLNET descr: Schoolnet India Ltd descr: 166,BJS Building gr floor, descr: Mahaauto bldg Cst road, descr: kalina , Vidya nagari, descr: Santacruz (E) Mumbai - 49 country: IN admin-c: JS217-AP tech-c: JS217-AP mnt-by: MAINT-IN-HTIL changed: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 20020402 The people to complain to are the ones who own the open mail relays. Until you get them to clamp down, they'll continue to be used as spam relays. Either that or just let spamassasin dump them into the ether (though I generally do a quick scan... your e-mail ended up in the spamfolder after all) > > ================= Begin forwarded message ================= > > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (=?iso-8859-1?q?Chima=20Eze?=) > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: CONFIDENTIAL TRANSACTION > > Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2002 14:30:12 +0000 (GMT) <snip> -- Steve Ackman http://twoloonscoffee.com (Need green beans?) http://twovoyagers.com (glass, linux & other stuff)
