Also, a spammer wouldn't need to use Qurb. They could write a three line perl script to autorespond to TMDA challenges if they were so inclined. It would probably be much faster than going through Outlook... ;-)
It is also important to remember that the spammer needs to pick the challenges out of the flood of bounces that get from a mailing. Both challenges and bounces are sent to the envelope sender.

I'm not too concerned about this, as it's unlikely a spammer would want to leave a bread-crumb trail leading right to him, or incur the hefty expense of processing auto-responses. _________________________________________________ tmda-workers mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-workers _________________________________________________ tmda-workers mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-workers
