-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Douglas,
@22 July 2002, 19:25 -0500 (01:25 UK time) Douglas Hinds [DH] in [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED] said to Marck D Pearlstone: MDP>> ... I've seen spam come through with "The Bat! (1.52f) Business" MDP>> as the X-Mailer and an X-MS-Priority header. DH> *Is* there a TB! "Business" version? Yes, there is. DH> I DO recall seeing that on the spam I saw with TB! mentioned as DH> the mailer in the header. If you get a spam that has this header: X-Mailer: The Bat! (1.52f) Business it, incongruously will also have an "X-MS-Priority" header. TB only uses X-Priority. The X-Mailer header is a fake. DH> I search all accounts for "v1.52f" in the header and found 36 DH> messages with v1.52f, 15 of those were sent to this and other TB! DH> lists and 3 of those were sent using the "v1.52f Business" edition, Yes, it was a bona fide edition. It's just that it isn't used for sending spam. It is far too low capacity. DH> so there may have been a business version sold by RITLabs. There were, but not for spamming. DH> The other 21 messages were received by 3 accounts and are spam DH> directed to ALL accounts of two ISPs. Most of these are _HTML_ DH> mail, which indicates that they were NOT in fact sent using The DH> Bat!, Correct. You'll probably find the X-MS-Priority header too. DH> unless the Business version (if there is one) included (the hated) DH> HTML mail capacity. It didn't. "Business version" is just the "Business" licence ($45) AOT the "Private" licence ($35) AOT the "Student" licence ($25). Nothing special, just a different price for different classes of user. DH> Most of those were in Trash directories. I'm not surprised :-). DH> Is there a way to determine whether AMS was used? Yes. It was Spam - ergo, it wasn't sent using TB. That's one fairly simplistic maxim. I have found that the X-MS-Priority header tends to appear in the AMS spams too. - -- Cheers -- .\\arck D Pearlstone -- List moderator TB! v1.62/Beta1 on Windows 2000 5.0.2195 Service Pack 2 ' -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.1.90-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE9O1e4OeQkq5KdzaARAvmDAKDA3RFXK6wINhzA8wUroWOkNfglXwCg1Z6k XuV4BW/z8fCgLQLH5p74MWo= =QecO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________________ Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/
