Very Important Announcement

[Azimuth]

Evil spammers have been forging mail with addresses using the *@himfinland.net mail domain, where * is webmaster, and probably others too.

If you receive any email from these addresses, and they don't look like they're from this board, do NOT follow any links appearing in the message.

Unless, of course, you're interested in purchasing 3-year supplies of black market Viagra.

  What Bastards! How do they do that?

[Azimuth]

Well, I did some reading on the subject, and it's apparently very easy.

In fact, I know from our own mail server that you can 'masquerade' with many different mail programs - that is, you can basically put anything as your outgoing mail address, even if the domain isn't yours.

Since it's your e-mail addy, can you tell who is using it? 

[Azimuth]

Nope.

Nope

I hate spam. I've never got it before on my current laptop but my parents did and whenever there was junk or spam they would scream so loud the neighbors could hear. pffft spam.
