A different type of Spam

I just received an email, that puzzled me for a while: A Spam Quarantine Digest from a product we don't use and from postmaster@ a different domain. There was a mail quarantined that was indeed sent to me and was indeed spam. On closer investigation it seems that the Spam was sent from their internal network, detected by the product that is set to detect Spam in outgoing email (which does make sense to detect zombies in the network) and then Quarantine Digests were sent out to external receipients (which does make no sense at all). Well, now countless receipients worldwide received the Quarantine Digest, and sooner rather than later the database of the spam filter will be full :) Firmensitz: Muenchen Amtsgericht: AG Muenchen Handelsregister: HRB 144340 Geschaeftsfuehrer: Eric F.
