Just because it's coming from the outside isn't a good excuse not to do something about it, like not allowing messages with html/attachments to make it to the list, as there is really no need for either on this particular forum. I thought that used to be the case? Also, each of these messages is 42KB, and sending that out to a bunch of users every time one of these comes in... yeah.

I get enough of these fake spammy/virus things as it is with my broken Spam Assassin, which is thwarting my efforts at every turn, because I'm obviously an idiot, and don't know what I'm doing.

Maybe I will build an isolated virtual machine just fur running viruses to see what they do. No, actually, I'm not that bored.

Read your headers. These are coming from the outside, in. That server never runs anything, so it's unlikely to be effected, but it's easy enough to spoof email even if you're not trying. Apparently some people are just bored enough to do so, and make it look like it's from me. It's all about spf and other crap.

Hi.

it all comes from poor onj.
