List Dad, can we remove the person from the list who has been using SpamBully to do the following three extremely stupid things for some time now, with no sign of catching a clue:
1. Sending a challenge/response to mailing list mail; 2. Setting the return address of that challenge to [EMAIL PROTECTED]; 3. Forging the HELO sender of that challenge as "opensrs.org". Here's an example from a challenge I recently received when posting to discuss-list: >Received: from opensrs.org (unknown [66.117.242.230]) by fry.tigertech.net >(Postfix) with ESMTP id 60B9A3FC1C5 for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Mon, 15 Sep >2003 23:25:10 -0700 (PDT) >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >My email program has recognized your email message >as a possible spam message. If you feel this was >an error, Please reply to this email with only >a password and read your password from the enclosed >image and then reply to this email and type >the password in the subject or body of the reply. >Thanks. > >This Email account is protected with Spam bully. >This message was autogenerated by http://www.spambully.com Because they're forging all the header info, it's hard to tell who is doing it, but the mail server at 66.117.242.230 identifies itself as test.osubucks.org. It appears that the MX host for osubucks.org is mail.osubucks.org, which is also 66.117.242.230. So the offender is most likely someone with an e-mail address @osubucks.org. Perhaps the person in charge of the list can search the subscribers for such an address and remove it? -- Robert L Mathews, Tiger Technologies
