Yeah, that's exactly what I needed to know. I have about 5 email accounts that I regulary check, but some SPAM came in this way and was hard to determine which account it went to. By checking the received header more carefully I was able to determine it. When the hell are we going to have a new RFC that eliminates the possibility of
SPAM and
makes it secure by default? Is it really that difficult?
Call me offtopic but I do think it is that difficult; Its occured to me that detecting spam is a variation of the Turing Test (Google for it). Spammers are trying to produce emails that look as if they were produced by a human being and not by some massively automated system. Something like that.
