Re: [Full-Disclosure] defamatory joe job attack by botnet

I can only second Charles' and Isi's statements.... I sent a mail earlier this morning to the list, and it was bounced back to me by different engines. I made my case worse by underlining the fact that the body of the messages sent under my sp**fed identity were either advertising P*RN sites, or were plain SP*M for any kind of products.. the full and correct spelling of P*RN and SP*M triggered also some sites to reject straight away my message ;-). Life is not easy, and it seems we ain't seen anything yet... oh well...:-)

The spammers are using addresses from bugtraq submissions
and other security lists also. Clearly it is to their advantage to
harass those of us who are at all active on the security and
anti-spam side. It took Verizon months to stop blocking based
on spoofed addresses and Barry Shein's "Software Tool & Die"
(std.com) is still blocking based on spoofed addresses.

It  behooves all of us to do our best to block actual spammers
and not their spoofed victims.
