Given what appears here, somebody seems to be using an automated spam generation program to try and create some kind of degree mill. However, they don't seem to be reading the directions properly, and have left the "instructions to the user" in the message that they created. I have put the whole thing in, for those interested: ----------------- Return-Path: <ditiu () darklugiahq every1 net> Received: from losangeles.buildpage.com (97-152-31-216.tierzero.net [216.31.152.97] (may be forged)) by vcn.bc.ca (8.11.7+Sun/8.11.7) with ESMTP id j9IKp8h01767 for <rslade () vcn bc ca>; Tue, 18 Oct 2005 13:51:08 -0700 (PDT) Received: from bunnymail.net ([216.31.152.115]) by losangeles.buildpage.com (8.12.11/8.12.11) with ESMTP id j9IKof2J004265; Tue, 18 Oct 2005 13:50:53 -0700 Received: from 215.231.187.122 by 96.40.111.158.darklugiahq.every1.net (Postfix) with SMTP id 25184 From: "Wiley" <ditiu () darklugiahq every1 net> To: "Michel" <macbrush () macbrush net> Cc: <rslade () sprint ca>, <johnb () onlineinc com>, <rslade () vcn bc ca>, <robertslade () usa net> Subject: Degree = prestige!

Ordinary men had dreamed it up and put it together, building towers on rafts in swamps and across the frozen spines of mountains. [...] They hadn't dreamed, in the way people usually used the word, but they'd imagined a different world, and bent metal around it. And out of all the sweat and swearing and mathematics had come this ... thing, dropping words across the world as softly as starlight. - `Going Postal,' Pratchett http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev or http://sun.soci.niu.edu/~rslade _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
