Hello,
I have been running SIMS for a few years but just over the past month or
so started to get one or two messages a day with what looked like a
randomly generated (or harvested) sender and subject, with a MIME
attachment. I thought it was yet another stupid windows virus and did
not make much of it. I usually just do a bulk delete of all unread
messages once every few days.
Today, however, the "sender" on the message was _me_, or rather the
administrative account for SIMS on this machine,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and this got my attention.
I never send mail from Postmaster, and certainly wouldn't send with the
subject "honey" (that came with this message) and I don't send
unsolicited attachments to anyone. How this spammer got the
Postmaster@louis address, I do not know.
I looked in the mail logs and the spams seemed to be associated with a
host called "ratree". The log looks like:
12:08:11 0 SYSTEM The current date is Wednesday, June 12, 2002
12:08:11 2 SMTP-808(ratree.psu.ac.th) {S.0000085626} received, 149578
bytes
12:08:11 2 SYSTEM [S.0000085626]
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 0+1
From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
12:08:12 2 SYSTEM(POP) [S.0000085626] delivered to (robin)
12:08:12 2 SYSTEM [S.0000085626] deleted
Has anyone heard of this outfit?
Any advice on how to respond?
thanks
