Ashish: It seems strange, but I believe you. Simple reason: You have a gmail account, and *every* GMail user sees your name and email, like "from Ashish Yadav
", when you send a message, but I don't see your name from the hijacked account. I.e.GMail sees the hijacked account as "from ashishyadav26@gmail.com", same source of email, but without the name.
Now: question to the our dear Open-Source community - How is this possible ? 1. How is this possible for hijackers to hijack the mail source address? 2. How is it possible for GMail to distinguish between a real and a hijacked email ?
1 & 2 actually happened just in the front of us !
Alexey, My previous email explains this in detail. The fact that my test didn't reach the list (yet), just means that the suse.de spamfilter is doing a good job. But it's easy to see what happens. Try it yourself, on your own email account. People, please!!! Don't use my example to abuse the email system.
