  We have had several of the same ilk, only they were using "hostmaster () netaxis ca",
a rather disturbing trend ...

  The relay points all seem to be so stupid as to not record the injection point.

Subject: Spoofed SPAM relayed using my email address.

I received the following 3 bounces today.  I did not generate the original emails.

Have any of you on the incidents email list had this happen?

I assume I was randomly chosen as a valid email from harvested
address and then the spammer's email routed through "Hallym
University" in Korea.

I haven't had any flaming mail come to me from the people that
were spammed, as I had expected, which is a good thing, I guess.
:)

Is there ANY way to protect against this other than not using my
email address anywhere? :)

I can't think of anyone I would have annoyed enough to do this on
purpose.

Thanks for any help you can give. :)
