I can confirm it DOES send spam at a rate which was far beyond my
expectations, at times the machine had 30 threads running connecting
to mta servers around the world delivering "Free L0ans" type of emails.

I can confirm:
- It delivers SPAM/UCE/UE.
- It reports to a master server and receives commands and emails.

Generic IDS fingerprints could be created by using the "from email"
field, but I haven't moved any further I just uninstalled and moved
along.
