This is a spammers wet dream come true, send out 15,000,000 'IMPORTANT' emails, use a bell smtp server and it reaches the end user 8 times so he doesn't miss the valuable message.

The same problem has been occuring at sympatico.ca as well, another "Bell" company. It started about 3 weeks ago. One of my clients called to complain, the tech support rep. apologized and said their mail systems have a virus, nothing they can do about it, don't worry it won't affect your system......

Gotta love those tech support guys....

Am I the only one who's received a half dozen copies of this reply from

from the mailing list?


Nope, I got 8 copies of the same reply as well. I compared the headers on a
bunch and it looks like the first two hops have the same datestamp on all
the copies. Here is where it is different.

Weird. Different mailservers at bellsouth.net keep sending the same message?
