Have any of you folks been "helped" by listtool.com? I recently got a
letter from them telling me that they had added a list I run to their
service (and I should tell all my users about them!) The forged
subscriptions started coming in the next day.
Apparently, listtool.com is just a simple CGI that takes any user-specifed
data, and creates a message to majordomo (or listserv, or what have you)
at your site, that is forged to come from that address. What an amazing
resource this is for anyone who wants to abuse someone else!
I wrote them demanding to be taken off their service and they wrote back
telling me how helpful their users found their service and so on, and was
I *sure* I wanted to be removed. Yes, I assured them, despite their
undeniable wonderfulness, I really did not want to be listed. They still
didn't take me off.
Finally, I rigged a procmail wrapper around majordomo to bounce any
messages that were sent via their web site back to them. That got me
removed, finally.
ARGH!
