Hi, Stephen. ] seems some spammers are using one of my personal domains as the ] from field in their emails... This is also happening to one of my domains. The spam advertised two web sites, one in Brasil and the other in China. I attempted to contact these folks, but the domain in China doesn't accept inbound email. :/ The hosts used to send the mail are all hacked Windows boxes. I notified all of the ISPs that had hacked hosts, but decided to focus my energy on the two sites being advertised. I'm not accusing them of launching the Joe Job, but I doubt a spammer would randomly advertise these sites. Perhaps these two sites hired a shady marketing group. Anyway, this is really all I could do. The spam never uses my resources, except for the bounces. I share your pain. :( ] PS Anyone around at the Sheraton today.. I cant spot anyone looking ] nanogish! I just arrived, and I look pretty darn NANOGish if I do say so myself. :) Thanks, Rob. -- Rob Thomas http://www.cymru.com ASSERT(coffee != empty);
