I Just received this. I would like to check if others have received it and did it indeed come through nanog mailist

It came through NANOG, delivered from a Hotmail account that accepted it from 198.26.130.36. Yes, that is a military IP, and most definitely not the first time that spammers have relayed emails through compromised military machines. Spammers broke federal law long before the YOU-CAN-SPAM act. For some reason, Peter Schroebel was CC'ed. You can read more about him at http://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/listing.lasso?-op=cn&spammer=Peter%20Schro ebel%20-%20SMS/Fullport Character attacks such as this one are pretty common against anti-spammers, we also had one attempted at Brian Bruns just days ago here on NANOG.
