Hello TBUDL,

I've just talked on the phone with the webhosting company where my
domain is hosted -- and they do reside in the Czech Republic -- and
they admit that *their* mail server has been known to send Spam-Alerts
similar to those we have seen earlier today on TBUDL.

They emphatically deny, however, that the spam alerts could have been
sent anywhere but to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and that anything other
than [EMAIL PROTECTED] could have been in the Sender field.

But, as we saw, there were actually very different addresses in both
the Sender and the Recipient fields of those Spam-Alerts.

So either this is a seriously misconfigured spam-filter on the
webhosting company's part, or they have themselves become victims of a
virus/worm. (The IP address, 81.2.194.21, to be found in the spam
alerts' headers, does belong to the company.) They've promised me to
stop the sending out of all such notices immediately, and that should
conclude our episode.

Yours,
Alex. of Slovakia
