Hi. Regarding the sending of spam to you guys, when it comes to viagra and rolex-spam it's usually a virus and not spam sent out intentionally. Viruses can harvest email-addresses by crawling around on the web by itself or by watching what the users of the computer are doing. It might also be sent from computers having no connections to l2.no at all, but sent with a fake originator - the email-protocol was made when the internet was 12 guys that knew eachother personally and unfortnatly has lots of flaws.
In all emailclients theres a way to see the full header of an email, which contains lots of information. Please watch the full header of your recieved spam and look for ip-addresses or hostnames. If you see any ip's that starts with 195.159 or any hostname that ends with .powertech.no please forward the email to abuse at powertech dot no and we'll contact the customer. If you find other ips than ours you can use tools to find out which isp it is and every isp should have contact info for abuse-matters. American ips can be looked up at http://www.arin.net/whois/ European ips can be looked up at http://www.ripe.net and Asian ips can be looked up at http://www.apnic.com/ . So remember that it's not only a chance, it's probable that this is a virus and not l2.no spamming. If you have any more questions about this matter or have a report of spam originating from 195.159.x.x or x.powertech.no feel free to email us!
