we have got one more from faniq this morning, so i waded through the mail logs to see what was there. the envelope sender matches the domain (faniq), so the server has no issues with this mail and spf is of no help. > The faking of the second is almost legitimate since almost no one > bothers to digitally sign e-mail anyway. > > On Sat, 21 Mar 2009, Arun Khan wrote: > > In this particular case, the From header showed '"Lakshmi M" > > <nore...@...>' I have found this to be the case in most of > > the invites from such sites and hence I have posed the question. > > So this at least _can_ be filtered. So can most sites that conform > with SPF (or reverse MX records). how? i am using the web front end for reading the mails on this list, so i really cant see what is in the headers. it appears to be html. i am guessing that the legitimate subscribed user address is there somewhere (since mailman is not treating the mail as being from non-subscribed address) but there is some html mailto pointing to [email protected] which is what the html archived mail shows. if a kindly user using standard mail delivery mode on this list will forward todays faniq - giridhar mail with full headers to me (not to the list), i can look over it to see what is there and see if any filtering would be possible. sriram _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
