No, that's clearly one of the things they do try, but I believe that they use an envelope sender address something like "orbs-tester@mail.foo.com", so as to give you an indication that this is a test. They aren't trying to hide their identity, and they aren't forging the headers, because headers != envelope address. -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ====================================================================== Brad Knowles, || Belgacom Skynet SA/NV Systems Architect, Mail/News/FTP/Proxy Admin || Rue Colonel Bourg, 124 Phone/Fax: +32-2-706.13.11/12.49 || B-1140 Brussels http://www.skynet.be || Belgium To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
