Our spam from earlier this afternoon was, as near as I can tell, from
somebody running off of btcentralplus.com. I have no idea how it got
here, as it did not come from a list member - in fact, the From header
stated it came from the list itself, which is exceedingly silly, as
the list is not subscribed to itself. I don't even want to think of
the shitstorm that would happen if it were. =^_^=
This is not a call for a ban, by any means, as I'm pretty sure that
it came from a bot - the domain name was for a client computer on
btcentralplus, and the IP address coincided to this - but I would like
to take a minute to remind our users that you really should install
software on their computers to protect themselves against malware, and
if you have, please make sure it remains updated. Since much spam is
broadcast by infected computers, by doing this, we can at least help
abate it somewhat.
Now then, let us get back to the fanfic.
