Thanks for the info. I did a little Googling around and found some semi-interesting stuff: http://www.rickconner.net/spamweb/analysis05.html http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9447687~mode=flat http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/mar2004/msg00176.html Even though these particular messages are simply spam and not dangerous, isn't there the capacity for these things to be nastier? Although, I suppose at that point, you could simply add signatures to deal with those cases... Is there any legitimate reason to use this kind of trick? Might be worth it to have the option to block these things on principle, similar to the way all encrypted zips can be blocked.
