Hmmm...so no chance of an envelope rejection when it's destined for valid email addresses. Anyone heard of envelope rejection by subject word/phrase? That could be useful in the future as they get more nimble. Perhaps even Bayesian filtering on it...
Darryl, it looks like there's no choice but to process the messages (I'm sure most will get junked by your filters), and gather evidence in hope that authorities can use it to track down and shut down the spammer. Darin. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 10, 2004 9:16 PM Subject: Re: [Declude.JunkMail] 2,000,000 + emails today In this case, headers don't provide any benefit because this stuff all comes from zombies with forged info. It's the payload links, where they might be redirected to and/or is hosted , where their DNS is hosted, and where their names were registered. Chances are that everything can be tracked back to the same spam gang. I searched the newsgroups for one of the subjects, and found a bunch of zero day domains, one of which was still active and hosting images for this spam, turwy33.info. I then looked up the IP and found it listed in SBL fresh as of today: http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/sbl.lasso?query=SBL14807 This has been attributed to ROKSO spammer MailTrain, who's evidence file can be found at the following: http://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/listing.lasso?-op=cn&spammer=MailTrain Here's the full list of their current SBL listings...lots from China, as all good pill spammers who need dishonest hosts go (unless they can get a good rate at Exodus): http://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/sbl_listings.lasso?spammer=MailTrain&rokso_id=ROK One of the contacts listed in SBL shows that at least one of these guys is Scott's neighbor (figuratively). I would be curious about whether or not this was the same spammer causing issues with Darin. Nevertheless, everyone should turn off the Nobody alias for fear that they might get harvested from not rejecting a dictionary attack during the SMTP envelope.
