Hi, I sometimes receive mail from legitimate senders (actually my ISP) that is - sent through somebody else's mail server (something related to doubleclick) - has a plain ascii (no umlaut characters) subject and yet is encoded base64 - otherwise makes the mail look like spam (boundary of 0000000000000000) - advertises products that can be bought via their web site - all links go through personalized redirectors I do no longer care whether these mails might be real .... I am only sure they go to a real /dev/null :) If they want to send mails that look like spam to SA and the recipients, they probably want their mails disposed Wolfgang Hamann
