Yet another stupid spammer trick. From: address is trivial to forge - for example, you set my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in mutt ... that doesnt make you Bush ;) What this idiot is doing is simple ... for i in `big list of addresses he pulled out of his a**` do send mail with a forged from $i to $i done > it is an ad for travel and tourism and also sports these URLs: along with > the now seemingly catchall reference to some US bill on spam. S1618 is bullshit - and does not exist. http://www.cauce.org lists a lot of the bogus bills spammers quote - and discusses real bills - if you are interested. > 1. mailto:E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > 2. http://www.tourisminindia.net/ > 3. http://www.worldwide-tours.net/ All downstream of hopone.net / superb.net - mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with full headers of this spam. And let me know the result - they have been my webhost (for kcircle.com) for over 4 years. As their service has been going to the dogs lately, I guess I'll be looking for a new webhost real soon, if they have also become careless about spam. -srs -- Suresh Ramasubramanian <----> mallet <at> efn dot org EMail Sturmbannfuhrer, Lower Middle Class Unix Sysadmin [Linux One Stanza Tip] From : <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> LOST #086 -**< Sub : HTML Mails :( >**- Using plain text mails is a better idea. Especially on mailing lists. These are readable by all, whereas HTML mail may not .. Besides, they are smaller in size (bandwidth), with less risk of script nuisance. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
