Haven't bothered with checking the headres to see if the originating sender is a subscribed user
Only the envelope sender needs to be subscribed, and only the suse list admin can see that. The mail sent out to subscribers have all that info stripped out
Correct. That "envelope from" user must be subscribed, but it can be an impostor (somebody posing as any of us).
As i was saying, the mail is a testrun to be able so see if the mails get through to the list users. Thus "only" random, almost coherent texts. The next is probably some stupid "click here" link or something. Or even a virus/trojan aimed at MS.
The random text is an old trick to get past antispam programs. My guess is that it originally had an attachment with some virus or whatever that they hoped the user would click.
SUSE's list server of course strips off all attachments, so we never saw it.
That's what the header:
X-MIME-Notice: attachments may have been removed from this message
means.
At least that's my uneducated guess
Exactly what I said - being two of us, it is probably an educated guess ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDIs4+tTMYHG2NR9URAo/2AJ9fU6gPlCJxKobB94i27lZ0ljcWzwCfYkTU dC30lsp81X2YjCHwuKKJgok= =kUQW -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
