I got one of these too. It's either someone harvesting email addresses (eg from the Full-Disclosure public archives). I also received a welcome message with a picture attached (even though I have to use evil Outlook, I use Zone-Alarm to prevent it talking to anything outside our LAN). Although it does look like a genuine abusive message, it lacks both the name of the person it's sent to and who it's from. If I was going to insult someone, I'd at least use their name. Also, the email headers make it look like it's come through some cable modem connection, rather than direct from kievonline.org: Received: from fl.24.96.20.54.cablemodem.gte.net (fl.24.96.20.54.cablemodem.gte.net [24.96.20.54]) All I've done is reply to it to inform the person that the address was being used to send abusive email. - John Airey, BSc (Jt Hons), CNA, RHCE Internet systems support officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute of the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Political correctness - a modern day tool to confuse the minds of the unwary. - DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
