Subject: Life Insurance Spam with strange addressing
Has anyone seen a recent crop of Life Insurance spam coming in with strange addressing? Last week we received the 2 emails. Normally I wouldn't be concerned with spam like this, but if I look at the addressing it is coming from a valid address (of course it has to be of two executives...) and then delivering to staff. The first message reads from [EMAIL PROTECTED], to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but was delivered to staff. The second message reads from [EMAIL PROTECTED], to [EMAIL PROTECTED], and again was delivered to staff. The thing that really makes me wonder is that [EMAIL PROTECTED] no longer works here and her email address is hidden from the address book.
The headers indicate that the messages are coming from our mail server, but obviously we aren't sending our self spam. Is there a way to spoof this? Possibly a worm?
I've found references to the subject lines on Google, but no one mentions the addressing issue, only that it is spam.
These are the subjects:
$250,000 policy for only $8.50/month!
