Himm.......

I see my name! I'm famous! ;D ;D ;D

Sorry X, I don't keep an address book on my computer for this very reason (besides, I don't know your e-mail address).

Did they send money? I certainly could use some. ;)

Actually, it's easily accomplished by running a robot/scan on this site, by starting from this page: http://www.racemotorcycles.com/cgi-bin/board/YaBB.pl?action=mlall
and harvesting all the email addresses. Then run your script to send out emails to everyone, and randomly set the 'from' field to another one in the list that you harvested.

This is an easy way to get 2,428 emails for a distribution/spam list. :)

Spoofin' emails is easy stuff. The first one is a stumpy email, and I don't think he's using that one any longer. I've gotten mail from all sorts of people I "know" selling everything from Viagra to get rich quick schemes to phishing scams. Unfortunately, this isn't going to stop any time soon. >:( :(

You script kiddie! Any hacker worth her weight in salt wouldn't send a spam to herself. You are out of the guild! Be banished from the geekdom forever more! :o ::) :P
