So this idiot is announcing, in a public forum, that he is going to
commit a federal crime? Oh, good, I'll have to check the papers in a
couple days to read about his arrest!

Is his IP address 198.186.194.247? That was in the message header.


Perhaps if you spent more time looking at the 'Followups-To' header
you'd do a better job of not being part of the attack on sci.crypt.

And google 'joe job' while you're thinking about that.

You left off the terminal 'e'. It was new to me too, but
appears to be a combination of "spam" and "forge"

Good practice -- especially if you don't look at the headers
before posting. (I must admit -- I don't usually look to that amount
of detail -- but this one got my suspicions going. :-)

Enjoy,

If you put it in -- something took it out. Beware of a ':' in
the beginning of a "Subject: " header -- Microsoft's Outlook Express
thinks that it is " " in some other language, deletes it, and
replaces it with " ". Try putting it in square brackets instead.

And it looks as though my ISP (at least) is killing these almost
as fast as they are coming in. I found (last time I did a reply) that
of the 371 new ones which had just come in, 111 were already gone.
Either my ISP is doing it, or someone is running a very active
(and much needed) cancelbot.

Good Luck,
DoN.

You really don't want to do that. "Joe" was the victim, not the
perpetrator. It was a case of a bunch of spam forged to look as though
it came from him, when in reality he was an active anti-spamer. It did
result in a lot of complaints to his upstream, however, because most
people can't read the headers to see where it really comes from.

Enjoy,
