Anyone else receive this subject on the 14th... "AMERICAN STOCK MARKET: TRHL Retains Sky Investor Relations...edita", where edita was changed with multiple names. Not strange that I received spam, however I received the same message 8 times to the same address with about 2-3 per hour. My spamassasin picked them up but the strange thing was they all came from different IP addresses and I couldn't traceroute any of them...
It seems to be fairly commonplace these days for (a) spam to be vectored through widely-distributed sets of open proxies or infected windows drones and (b) for unallocated or normally unadvertised space to be advertised transiently in order to provide temporary addresses to bind SMTP clients to. You're probably seeing one or the other (or both). Joe
