If you look at the actual header of the message you may be able to determine more. More and more lists are sending messages "To" a bogus address or themselves and BlindCC'ing everyone in their mailing list. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Burden [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2001 11:49 AM To: Suresh Ganu; 'GNATBOX Forum' Subject: RE: Spam E-mail --------------------- Attention ----------------------------- A digest version of this list is now available.

Consider the following example. I telnet'd into the SMTP port of my own mailserver. In this example, the mail will be delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the rcpt to), but the email client will show that it was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the "To:" line in the "Data" segment). The email server doesn't typically look at the Data segment -- that's left to the email client. There is nothing that says that anything in the Data segment has to match anything in the helo, mail from, or mail to segments.
