Dear Elecrafters,

I have the same problem here since some days, so I wrote an email to 
Eric WA6HHQ. He answered me direct and I want to share the info with all 
who affected.

Hi Ingo,

These spam emails are probably not coming via the Elecraft list. I am 
not receiving any of them here. Since the list copies all subscribers 
for each email, if these spams were coming from the Elecraft list, all 
subscribers would be getting them. The qth.net spam filters are still in 
place and the list will not pass -any- attachments.

It is more likely that a subscriber to the Elecraft list has a computer 
that is infcected by a virus that is then sending these emails to all 
email addresses in their computer. These spams usually fake the 'From:' 
and 'Reply To:' addresses so that they look like real emails.

Can you email me the full email header from one of these spam emails? I 
will analyze it to see what is happening.

73,
Eric
