Re: Spamming of NANOG list members

Mine came 21 May.  It was a .doc.  

Sent from charter.net, with the user portion of the sender very similar to a nanog contributor.

And it arrived oddly coincident with my visit to the cvent registration page.  Any others who had that coincidence?

The one I received looked like this:

From: "NANOG" <service () cegips pl>

...

Has it been considered switching to "-all", instead of only "~all" in
the spf record?

$ dig +short +nocmd +nocomments TXT nanog.org
"v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ip4:104.20.199.50 ip4:104.20.198.50  ip4:50.31.151.75 ip4:50.31.151.76

~all"

The SPF record wouldn't make a difference since that email was sent from @cegips.pl, not from @nanog.org.  You'd 
have to change the SPF record for the cegips.pl domain to impact their ability to send from that address.  

The one I received was from rainphil.com and came with an ugly Trojan attached as a PDF. 

Has anyone else received this type or am I just fortunate?
