Re: Email webbugs

[James Robbins <robbins.7 () osu edu>]

There is an interesting use of webbugs made by one outfit.  If you
append .confirm.to to the end of the address you send a mail to
it will be sent to the original address (without the .confirm.to).  When
a person reads the mail on an html mail reader it replies to .confirm.to.
They, in turn, send you an email specifying the time, IP address and
MAC address of the machine on which the mail was read.
