A different type of Spam

[<Toralv_Dirro () McAfee com>]

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 :)
