Nikola,
Do not you think that email should be filtered..?
Or at least some one should warn the others for the exe link..
Not too many FreeBSD users are going to be worried about clicking on .exe
files. In fact, I routinely fetch these files and submit them to
Virustotal.com. I doubt you can get them to run on FreeBSD. :-)
This is public and open list and it's impossible to filter everything.
I asked you why you replied directly to the spammer. That's extremely
bad practice, please stop doing it.
In general that's true, but these are spams. They're emails sent by the
Storm worm botnet to entice people to install a trojan horse on their shiny
new Winblows boxes. Replying to them does nothing of any consequence
except perhaps irritate the recipient, who had nothing to do with the email
being sent in the first place.
