Hello list, Yesterday I received a spam mail from my own email address. I assume that is a trick to pass through my procmail system or something? The header of the mail only shows this: -------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Betreff: Mother finds 71K in 15 year olds closet Datum: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 19:22:09 -0500 Von: moeller@chemie.uni-hamburg.de Rückantwort: moeller@chemie.uni-hamburg.de An: moeller@chemie.uni-hamburg.de <snip> This email was sent to you via Saf-E Mail Systems.
