Spamming being done in my name...
Folks,
Someone using mail servers (not open relay) at pol.co.uk is spamming and using me as the reply-to.
They are targeting places I frequent, including other contributors of the Avalon list. They are
distributing some exe that looks like a x-wav...
Please accept my apologies for something that is not my fault.
Regards,
- Paul H

I was investigating this as you sent this. It seems to be the newest
outlook worm indeed, apparantly someone who frequents jakarta has the
bugger. It's not me, I'm on linux =)
I will contact the ISP and ask them to contact their customer (he's
using dialup so the trace failed).
regards,
- Leo

I believe that is the new ms lookout worm that is going around. it culls
email addresses from user's web cache.

Indeed. I was talking to the JAMES guys trying to persuade them to draft an RFC for 'DYST'. This
is a 'did you sent this' query that mail servers could ask each other (with digest and message id)
that would close off some avenues for spam, with the downside that it makes the mail exchange
slower. But less SPAM means more bandwidth yes?

They are doing the same on the Cocoon list for all developers, using other
developers' names as the sender.
Gee, how _stupid_ this is!
