[Clipart] My sincere apologies

[chovynz]

 Thanks man! You're a legend.
I'll look into what I have to see if it really did come from me or if I've
been spoofed.

Cheers

Looking at the full headers of the email tells you, hopefully, where
the email came from -- if it wasn't spoofed in any way. Here's what I
could get from them (an email that arrived on April 11 and I still had
in the trash; I deleted permanently the one that arrived today or
yesterday, so I can't compare):

Subject: [Clipart] Dear clipart at lists.freedesktop.org April 66% 0FF

============================================

The important lines here are the "Received:" ones, and the first one
should be the originator, if everything is correct. In this case, it
would be IP number 113.169.33.57, which according to whois locates to
Vietnam:

inetnum:      113.160.0.0 - 113.191.255.255
netname:      VNPT-VNNIC-VN
descr:        VietNam Post and Telecom Corporation
descr:        23 Phan Chau Trinh, Hoan Kiem Dist, Ha Noi
country:      VN
...

So, the email seems to have done the following path:
113.169.33.57 -> gabe.freedesktop.org (131.252.210.177, which GMail
approves of according to the SPF thing in the headers) ->mx.google.com
(internal Google server, 10.204.99.82) -> my eyes

I guess. :-)

The email body itself is HTML, and asks for images (which I don't
allow loading automatically, ever).
It also points to a page with a Russian address:http://www.edgehole.ru
(I wouldn't go there if I was you) :-)

Again, these things in the headers can be faked, so don't take this as
100% certain. But at least the part after the freedesktop.org seems to
be good, because of the SPF pass.

Any other ideas?

Cheers
J

Is there anyway that the list owners could find those emails and see where
they are coming from?
Are you able to remove that subscriber if it is found to be some company not
legitimate?
I recommend looking for any Pfizer subscribers.
