Thank you very much. I don't get into the details but now I know a little bit more to help me evaluate what I do see. regards, ST -----Original Message----- From: Kristian Lyngstøl [mailto:nesquik () bohemians org] Sent: Thursday, July 29, 2004 2:03 PM To: staylo () agccs lmco com Subject: Re: outbind in MS outlook I am not subscribed to full-discolosure with my personal address (or computer), so forgive the lack of a copy of your mail :) Anyway, what you are seeing is normal. This is actually a bug in the html-code written by the spammer In the lack of a <handler>:// in an URL, any browser will (or should) assume that the link is relative to the path it is currently reading from. So since the link code is only <a href="www.link.com">link</a>, not <a href="http://www.link.com">link</a>, the browser will assume this is relative to the mailbox it is reading it in. (outbind://...) You will see the same problem on web sites if they omit the http:// in links. If www.siteA.com tries to link to www.siteB.com only using <a href="www.siteB.com">, the browser will look for http://www.siteA.com/www.siteB.com -- Regards Kristian Lyngstøl Telenor SOC _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
