Re: Bizzare Postings in here lately From: GoldenEagle (anonymous@obgyn.net) Tue, 13 May 2003 18:41:36 -0700 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Sonnet: "Re: Bizzare Postings in here lately" Previous message: anonymous: "Re: Fasting and PCOS" Maybe in reply to: Janet: "Bizzare Postings in here lately" Last I checked, Spam itself can't take over a person's address book. Viruses, worms, and Trojans can... and if someone received one of these nuisances in an e-mail, they would also be sending the Virus, or whatever, to the list with the junk mail also - since that is the sole purpose of this kind of attack (to spread the Virus). I have not seen anything like this come through. It is more likely that a spammer, or several spammers, have joined the list thinking it is a good way to bombard a lot of people with their junk. There are so many ways that they get around detection.... E-mail addresses can also be picked up off the web by "Bots" that search web pages to gather e-mail addresses to add to their collection. If there are any scouring the PCOS pages, and our e-mail addresses are listed there with our posts, this could explain the spam as well. As mentioned before, Spammers have many ways of getting around detection and can very easily make the e-mails appear to be coming from a source they are not. >----- Original Message ----- From: Sonnet <anonymous@obgyn.net> To: Multiple recipients of list PCOS <anonymous@obgyn.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2003 5:03 PM Subject: Re: Bizzare Postings in here lately > My best guess is that someone who gets the forum posts delivered to them > via email has the email address for the forum in their address book. > Spam took over their email, and added the forum to their lists, thinking > it was another person's email.
