From what I can tell, it trys to recognize from lines and subject lines mostly. It acts as some add-ons for my filters, and yes, reports back bad headers (and only bad headers, or good headers seen as bad - supposedly). Am I 100% sure of their benevolence? No. I'm taking the risk right now, but I think if they're up to anything, someone will figure it out relatively quickly and I'll know to get rid of it. I don't deny the risk, but as of know, it's working great. If it's a tactic, my ignorance is bliss at the moment.
I sure can relate to ignorance is bliss. That is my life!  I do have a feeling that this will be a paid product once the beta is over and "we" have tested their product for them. Oh well, use it will you can.
I'll get over there and register today. Thanks for the tip.
Mike

Who keeps sending me mail to myself? Anyone else gotten mail supposedly from me or am I the only one?

| alex042 - It's pretty easy to mimic the recipients e-mail address when sending spam. Most likely, it's only you. If it wasn't, you'd probably get some people replying with "REMOVE ME" and stuff in the subject or body (whether or not it's in the message, people do it anyway). Unfortunately, this happened to one of my accounts a couple of times and I had to change it. This is where spammer hurt the most (besides taking up too much space on mail servers and bandwidth), they can get people e-mail addresses, or even worse, their domains banned on some servers. I knew someone that this happened to (his domain was banned from many servers). Luckily, his business was young enough to go through a quick name change. |

Its obvious to me from the header ,that its not from my account, but how many people look at that? It's also apparent to me, that it was a result of me being a MOD author here.

| alex - why do you think it was because you were a mod author here? You don't think it could be just normal spam (or is it not spam)? |

I know because one of the attachments had the same unique name as one of the files in my MOD, but instead of being an asp file, it was a mim file.

Hey no fair, we don't have that. But speaking of that, maybe Texas should have their own. Afterall, the 'Lone Star State' is practically their own country anyway right? Like the old saying 'Don't mess with Texas.' 
Alex, there are ".us" domains available. Something like domainname.hou.tx.us etc. These use to be available for free, but I believe that they are charged for now. I haven't noticed using any ".us" domains in quite a while, but I can remember a time when the net was young and they were pretty common. |
