This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------B4E844CA2D3941FDB3E698A1 Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------A434A8D411D2AA5FE7C11DFA" --------------A434A8D411D2AA5FE7C11DFA Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Is there any way to stop the misuse of freebsd-questions mail forwarder? For example is the email I got below. Notice how it was routed through the freebsd-questions-outgoing mailer. I would suggest to anybody who has received this message to not responde. It is a possible security leak in order to get the receivers of freebsd-questions. Possibly for them to know that you have a FreeBSD machine and can launch specific attacks to your address. They will figure out your address if you reply. It appears to me that they want to trigger you to send a complaint. >Received: from hub.freebsd.org [204.216.27.18] by mx02 via mtad (2.6) > with ESMTP id mx02-cJqiqW0047; Sat, 17 Oct 1998 08:16:49 GMT >Received: from localhost (daemon@localhost) > by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id BAA11770; > Sat, 17 Oct 1998 01:00:35 -0700 (PDT) > (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions) >Received: by hub.freebsd.org (bulk_mailer v1.6); Sat, 17 Oct 1998 00:56:31 -0700 >Received: (from majordom@localhost) > by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) id AAA11022 > for freebsd-questions-outgoing; Sat, 17 Oct 1998 00:56:26 -0700 (PDT) > (envelope-from owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG) >Received: from mailhost.rmci.net (rmci.net [205.162.184.16] (may be forged)) > by hub.freebsd.org (8.8.8/8.8.8) with SMTP id AAA10978 > for <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG>; Sat, 17 Oct 1998 00:56:10 -0700 >(PDT) > (envelope-from bcbent@az.rmci.net) >Received: (qmail 29363 invoked from network); 17 Oct 1998 01:48:30 -0600 >Received: from usr-az-15.rmci.net (HELO inficad.inficad.com) (209.210.32.15) > by mail.rmci.net with SMTP; 17 Oct 1998 01:48:30 -0600 >From: "Brian Jones" <bcbent@az.rmci.net> >To: <bcbent@az.rmci.net> >Subject: LIVE ENTERTAINMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >Date: Sat, 17 Oct 1998 00:33:36 -0700 >Message-ID: <01bdf9a0$7367ada0$7520d2d1@inficad.inficad.com> >MIME-Version: 1.0 >Content-Type: multipart/alternative; > boundary="----=_NextPart_000_031F_01BDF965.D286BAA0" >X-Priority: 3 >X-MSMail-Priority: Normal >X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 4.71.1712.3 >X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.71.1712.3 >Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG >X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG >X-Mozilla-Status: 8001 > >This is a multi-part message in MIME format. > >------=_NextPart_000_031F_01BDF965.D286BAA0 >Content-Type: text/plain; > charset="iso-8859-1" >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > >Come visit the next generation in adult entertainment.
