On Sep 29, 2006, Simon Waters was like: > If you have email from the source of the problem, you can find the IP > address of the offending box and report it. There may be two problems: <a> messages apparently from me but really oginating from Brazil, Russia, Malaysia, Japan, etc and addressed to fictional recipients which bounce. and <b> messages addressed to me. Some of these are caught by the spam filter at blackcatnetworks and labelled (so my procmailrc feeds them to /var/spool/mail/junk) and I can say what the spam level is. Here is part of one such message.

Is there anything you can deduce from all this? It looks as if the originator is already known to the authorities?
