Scenario 3: Victim to ESP: I got this spam from your IP and have no idea why. It touts some product, but all of the links are tracking bugs that point back to you. Where did you get my address and on whose behalf did you send it? ESP to victim: We believe you and we have disconnected the customer. We’re unable to share any other information with you. laura -- Having an Email Crisis? 800 823-9674 Laura Atkins Word to the Wise [email protected] (650) 437-0741 Email Delivery Blog: http://wordtothewise.com/blog _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
