Something similar happened on another list I'm on, and the diagnosis was :
- Somebody using a Windows machine is on the list
- That machine is infected with W32/Badtrans.B@mm
- It uses MAPI
- Only people who post to the list get hit, cos it harvests addresses
from the mailbox(es) and addressbook.
So, the 'nut' may be just an innocent (?) Windows user ;-)
If you've saved the mail, just grep through the headers, and look for
the originating IP. Chances are, it will be already black-listed by at
least a few people. Otherwise, you could consider taking serious action
against the bugger.
pv.
ps. Is there a mutt port running on Windows ? In which case (s)he might
be an innocent mutt-user :-)
