[eug-lug]Recent Spam

[Brad Davidson]

Wow, looks like the spammers finally figured out how to spam mailing 
lists by sending from the address of a subscriber. I wondered how long 
until they'd start doing that...

They still have to learn how to forge 'recieved' headers though:

The hint being the odd 'Message-Id' tag in the middle of the middle of 
two 'Recieved' sections. tsk tsk. Anything after that point is suspect.

That and the use of a -700 UTC offset on a system that claims to be in 
Tampa Bay. Anyone in Tampa Bay would be using a -400 UTC offset.
