    SPAM that appears to be from SMPub.com

SPAMmers do their best to hide. One of the things they do is "SPOOF their emails.
quote:
What is Spoofing?
    Spoofing occurs when the sender of an e-mail message pretends to be someone else. Spoofing is often used by spammers, and it's easy to do. Spoofing can be accomplished by changing your "FROM" e-mail address.

    E-mail spoofing may occur in different forms, but all have a similar result: a user receives email that appears to have originated from one source when it actually was sent from another source. E-mail spoofing is often an attempt to trick the user into making a damaging statement or releasing sensitive information, such as a password.



Right now we are getting lots of bounced email from/to Russia to our "catch all" mailbox. The spammers are sending their virus infected messages pretending to be "geographer@smpub.com".

This morning we got a bounce back email from a member's email address but it was NOT sent from us.

The subject was Silver Salon Forum
The message content was not returned.
The message was sent late last night when we were asleep.

Spoofing email from SMPub.com is not new.

What is new is the subject was Silver Salon Forum and the fully expanded email address of a real SSF member with their real name (which we didn't know or have).

  1. If get you get bulk/mass email from SSF/SMP it will always have a remove me option (which we respect).

  2. If you want to get e-mail from SSF/SMP please make sure you/your ISP has white listed email from the @smpub.com domain.

  3. If you do get suspect email from SSF/SMP we want to know.
    Please send us the email including the email headers.
