My message would end up in asterisk_unwanted. And it did -- which is why I have added a special note in my .signature file (and why I didn't dump rejected messages straight into /dev/null/ from the beginning; the first rule of procmail seems to be, you probably missed something). A spammer probably isn't going to go to that sort of trouble. But if you can think of anything else I can pick up on that will improve the reliability of identifying legitimate off-list mail, I'm open to suggestions. -- AJS Note: Originating address only accepts e-mail from list!

[asterisk-users] Spammer direct replying to those posting on the users list
We apparently have a spam bot subscribed to the list and replying *directly* to anyone who posts on the list. The E-mails, generally use the name Alyssa or a Katie in the mail and have images attached. They come from a variety of addresses that so far don't appear subscribed to the list. However spammers don't typically subscribe to lists at the addresses they send from or appear to send from. This is just a notice that we are working on it and doing what we can. -- Digium's Asterisk Development Team Check us out at: http://digium.com http://asterisk.org -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
