RE: This company will be glad of SPF

2004-03-19 09:33:25
One of my clients has been sent over 600 emails, approx 250k each,
totalling around 150MB.

The email has 100's if not 1000's of email address in the CC field (each
of which are probably receiving 100's of copies of this 250k email). All
of these emails are coming from zombies, but all have the same MAIL FROM
address. 

It looks like the domain assetz.com has been targeted by spammers, so
much so that www.assetz.com have placed a notice on their web site and
turned off their telephone system due to the number of obscene phone
calls they are receiving. 

The attachment does look like a flyer from the targeted company, but not
only is this causing assetz a problem, but also the recipients of the
mail in that there accounts are practically being mail bombed.

More instances of these should really highlight the need for something
like SPF! And fast

Regards,
Lyndon.
