Oh yeah, the ban hammer came out as soon as I woke up. What a way to wake up! He actually had one decent other post back in Oct asking for the IPSEC algorithm, which no one here could provide. But I searched and found that he had spammed that same message to 8 other groups the same day.
>From the looks of it, his gmail account got hacked, and the spam went out from there. You can see this by the kinds of addresses used from his contacts list. Lesson to you all: Use a complex (numbers, letters, caps, no caps, special characters) password on the web! Dictionary words are a no-no. My wife and I have a gmail account just for junkmail that we use to sign up for websites. That got hacked because we used a dictionary word with a single number added to the end. Didn't really care if it was hacked, but once it was, it was sending emails out to everyone. We changed it fast. Jeremiah E.
