[OT] Spam to addresses used in this mailinglist
Just a question: Have other users got spam replies to mails sent to this mailinglist? I don't talk about the misconfigured vacation scripts, but about this ugly fraudulent (german) dialer spam. I have just got this "reply":

The contents was an invitation by "Petra" to visit her home page somewhere on www.netmails.com, which in reality contains a dialer. Maybe she doesn't know that MS Windows dialers will not work on a Linux system? ;-) So: Have others of you got similar spam, too? (Und von Jan Seewald wüsste ich gerne, wie er dazu kommt, so etwas mir zu schicken.) Thanks, and bye, Hatto

SPAM-Dialers (and other IE-Hacks), will only send eMails to other users within the IE-Adressbook. Therefor the Sender (even that he doesnt know he sends spam out), does not know which system (M$ or Linux, or whatever) the recipient have...
