Well -- spammers are following the NANOG list in real-time, it seems. A few hours after my post this afternoon, I received some spam with a correct Subject: line for that post. I'll be happy to forward the email to anyone who wants to analyze it or find the offender and permanently blacklist "her" from NANOG... --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
Funny you should mention that. About two seconds before your message, I got such a bit of spam.
I didn't know that anybody was still keying on subject lines; our spam filter tossed it anyways. ...

I have been seeing "targeted" spam for a while now - typically from someone with my last name and a random first name, and a familiar subject line. Just wait until they start using the _text_ from open mail lists as well. Regards Marshall On Dec 7, 2010, at 6:46 PM, Joe Greco wrote:
