I keep getting spammed by someone with plain text spam that looks like investor reports.... I am including the latest one(and headers from others), and was wondering if any of you had some ideas.
With Declude JunkMail, this E-mail would have scored a weight of at least 42 (we recommend blocking E-mail that has a weight of 20 or higher). So this spam is actually very, very easy to catch with decent anti-spam software.
I don't understand the point of a spam that doesn't have any way for the spamee to give the spammer money, unless it is the company being hawked in the spam. Is this just another way for companies to advertise themselves to potential investors?
The company pays the spammer for the "pump and dump" scheme.
Does anyone's spam filters identify anything in these? Since many of these indicate they are coming from two different IP's, is one bing spoofed or are they being relayed?
It's not possible for a spammer to spoof their IP address. :) At least, it is nearly impossible for them to do so -- and if they were to, it would be a major waste of their resources.
I understand Declude will check all mailservers excluding my own so I assume it would have seen the APNIC IP address and possibly identified this as spam...
It definitely would have. <G>
... but changing to a different anti-spam software is not an option right now for me(it may be in the future).
That's understandable. If your time is less expensive than the cost of anti-spam software, go with your time. But, if your time is worth $30/hour, and you spend 10 hours a week for a month dealing with filters and such, your company has just spent $1,200.
