That's assuming that <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> actually sent the spam.
You know as well as anybody else that return addresses on e-mail are
easy to fake. The message did come from worldnet.att.net, but the
alias "hspio" could be a non-existant mailbox, or worse, an innocent
third party.
I sent a politely worded complaint to the postmaster at worldnet.att.net
including the spam messages with all headers. They responded confirming
that they received my complaint and told me to send future complaints to
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. They also said that they would "take
appropriate action".
We should stop posting about this now (I know how hypocritical this
sounds coming from a posting!). But seriously, let's put this behind
us and get back to hacking.
