Re: [suse-security] Why is this mail routed to me?

Hi, sometimes I get email which is addressed to different people. Here is a header of one of this mails:

This is most probably UCE/UBE (Unsolicited Commercial/Bulk E-Mail).

To: From: receipt@toushi-radar.co.jp

Needless to say that I don't know neither the sender nor the receipent.

Of course. The From: and To: Header Lines can chosen nearly arbitrarily. This may make sense sometimes. Hey you wrote "To: suse-security@suse.com" but i got it. Have a look at http://www.allnews.de/report/tips/headerfaq.shtml (german) to learn more about headers and Spam. -- /"\ Jürgen Dollinger \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Uni Ulm X Against HTML Mail http://www.home.pages.de/~zeitnot/ / \ #include
