Date: Wed Jun 7 14:10:46 2006 From: simon at snosoft.com (Simon Smith) Subject: Strange Emails -- What are they? Hi List, I've had roughly one dozen people forward emails to me from different companies asking me to figure out what these emails are. The emails appear to be emails from the from the recipient. For example, John Doe appears to be sending an email to himself, but he's not. In reality when checking the mail server logs I find that the mails originate from the Internet. Other emails like the one below contain a different sender than the recipient but the contents of the emails are the same and they are still from the same domain. -------------------- BEGIN EMAIL ---------------------- Received: from 83.145.66.70 ([172.18.12.134]) by vms043.mailsrvcs.net (Sun Java System Messaging Server 6.2-4.02 (built Sep 9 2005)) with ESMTP id <0J0E00AVSNH9ETG0@...043.mailsrvcs.net> for xxxxxxx@...izon.net; Mon, 05 Jun 2006 15:55:58 -0500 (CDT) Received: from raptor.net (83.145.66.70) by sv12pub.verizon.net (MailPass SMTP server v1.2.0 - 112105154401JY+PrW) with SMTP id <5-25035-180-25035-2228-2-1149540957> for vms043pub.verizon.net; Mon, 05 Jun 2006 15:55:58 -0500 Date: Mon, 05 Jun 2006 22:52:40 +0100 From: "Gil.novak" <xxxxxx@...izon.net> Subject: 586876 X-Originating-IP: [83.145.66.70] To: "xxx.xxxx" <xxxxxx@...izon.net> Message-id: <ayoznyepbslfqdlqblr@...izon.net> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/html; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit -----Original Message----- From: xxx.xxxx [mailto:xxx.xxxx@...izon.net] Sent: Monday, June 05, 2006 5:53 PM To: xxx.xxxx Subject: 586876 969 -------------------- END EMAIL --------------------- Is this just another instance of spammers fishing for legit addresses? If so, then why the hell are they sending email from invalid addresses? I can dig into this a lot further if I need to, but I wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas about it first. Thanks in advance!!! -Simon
