[Yaesu] Spammers

[Wayne Dahl]

The problem is it may not be him.  Windoze virii are reknowned for 
spoofing addresses it finds in an infected users address book or their 
inbox.  I haven't run Weenderz since 1998 and occasionally, I still get 
notifications that some email sent to a server was infected by 
XYZ.windows.loser.trojan and I just have to snicker because I know it 
didn't come from ME, but from someone who WAS infected and had my email 
address either in their address book or in one of their mailboxes.  The 
infection then proceeded to spoof my email address, which could be 
verified by matching the address to the IP, but most servers or 
administrators wouldn't do that.
