However, investigating the apparent originating domain from which the message was sent to you, <63.22.97.158>, it seems to be from a <uu.net> account. I was receiving stealth spam from <uu.net> for months which could not be filtered or blocked by Brightmail, my ISP, nor my personal email software. Reporting every single spam message to Brightmail, my ISP, and <uu.net> were completely futile and it became very frustrating. It seemed to me that <uu.net> is an apparent safe haven for these cretins. After receiving nearly daily spam from various <uu.net> accounts, I then began receiving similar spam crap from the <cw.net> domain with the same results of no pertinent domains or spamfighting tool being able to do anything about it, and, me being an abject victim of it. Before reading about the sinister Back Orifice on the http://www.pc-help.org/ website, I assumed these heartless losers were using some sort of stealth operations to transmit the unfilterable and unblockable spam messages. After discovering and reading about Back Orifice, it appears to me that some stealth spam program is probably readily available to the vermin. Using the information on the PC-Help website I checked my new computer and it shows no evidence of the deadly Back Orifice residing upon it. I have not set up my old computer again, but, when I do I intend to check it for the telltale signs of BO. Other than my experience mentioned above, I don't know what else to suggest to you about "frosty". Pasted below is a portion of the trace I did on the <63.22.97.158> domain from which that particular spam message apparently originated.
