I'm not sure what you refer to here, Mark. Were you implicating that the suspected HTML messages "calls home" as it can do in some stupid mail clients that have active scripting set to on or in what way were you speculating the spammer got his feedback? >A lot of modern spam just probes for valid addresses, which is another >reason for these. that is about all I know about it. ;-) You mean they probe for invalid addresses, don't you? An invalid address gets them a response, a valid does not (unless the addressee responds manually or by script). ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
