Vishal,
Since there is no way to know who this is and he seems completely
unknown to the group, I would simply ignore him, or if you know how to
parse headers, issue a complaint if there are forgeries in any of the
headers.
Newsgroups are favorite plaes for robots and crawlers to scrape
e-mail addresses. Since we have to use our real e-mail addresses it
makes it easy for bots and crawlers to find the adresses if they get
past the defenses in place, whatever they are.
If the headers and the given address can be believed , and I think
they can, the mail came from Taiwan (.tw). It appears he may not
realize he's technically spamming but I've already received two of his
mails, identical to your, and if I get a third I will LART him with
prejudice unless there are no forged headers, in which case he'll get
one more chance to stop mailing me along with a form not to him about
his spamming.
i have received 3 or 4 emails of this type to my personal email, now this.
both from formatting and contents they seem very suspicious, more like
an actual spam/scam.
quite annoying.
From the X-Headers, it looks like they use Ironport's Spamcop.net for
spam detection, and that's a very useful outfit. They are good at
stopping it, but not prefect; sometimes things get by them. The spam
score appears they just barely scraped past the filters with the spams
to the group.
My advice right now would be to simply ignore it and delete/mark it
read, since there's no way of knowing what the guy is recording in
addition to his survey.
