Ya know, there are enough of us that we could pitch in, determine the source
of the IP, charter a jet to that location, travel as a big possie, take some
rope and start some good old fashoned linchings..... I also vote we travel
to all those third world countries where people keep asking me to give them
my bank account number, and then we travel to all of the mortgage companies
that have approved me for 3% loans.

I've also received a number of messages claiming to be from
Dwilliams_at_lifetouch.com.
I was about to email Mr. Williams a nastygram but noticed the internet
headers show:
"Received: from server.net (62-128-174-17.iwayafrica.com
[62.128.174.17])"
Anyone know of a good way to stop these?

Mike,
You can easily assume that the mail message was spoofed. Our
mail =
system does not allow us to send messages that don't get scanned both =
incoming and outgoing. And to boot I've received a number of messages =
from the postmaster that claim I sent messages to interval people via =
their external mail address. Wish I could catch that damned person! =
This
spoofing and spamming are getting so far out of hand I'm starting = to
think
they should bring back the guillotine for those people.

Hi ORACLE-L list posters,
Warning if you posted on Oracle-L lately...
I just got an email from dgoulet_at_vicr.com with ZIP attached. Yahoo scan did not detect virus, but my McAfee did trap the virus.
Warning if you posted on Oracle-L lately...

PS: Sorry if the email source was spoofed, but it did say it was from dgoulet_at_vicr.com.
