I'm not exactly sure what I did to receive the following email:
**Return-Path:** <jtvrjslxue@XXXXXXX> > **Received:** from XXXXXXX (unknown [218.20.224.40]) > by tower.conman.org (Postfix) with SMTP id D97AD66BB > for <sean@conman.org>; Tue, 17 Jun 2003 21:49:45 -0400 (EDT) > **From:** XXXXXX@earthlink.net <XXXXXX@earthlink.net> > **To:** sean <sean@conman.org> > **Subject:** FUCK U!!! > **Date:** Tue, 17 Jun 2003 21:49:45 -0400 (EDT) >
FUCK U!!!
That's the entire message.
I don't think I've written anything recently that would warrant such a response. I don't think …
The From: address has been forged—I seriously doubt I pissed off some people associated with sperm donations (yes, I did a Google [1] search on that email address and got back references to a sperm bank/fertility clinic). The Return-Path: is most likely forged as well—the domain is to an infrastructure software company and besides, the IP (Internet Protocol) address listed doesn't match any in use by said infrastructure software company. Instead, the IP address belongs to China Telecom.
Wait a second … China … hmmmm …
I wonder if it has anything to do with this spam [2] I replied to last year …
