    Another very common object link in the spam has been to wildwincasino.net

    That site was not live when I tried to look at it, but someone on
    news.admin.net-abuse.email took it as far as infecting themselves on
    purpose. The trojan appears to have served a rent-a-proxy service that had
    active spammer clients.

    We've received hundreds, if not thousands of these messages. At least 99% of
    them ended up buried in the spam heap for various reasons even before we had
    better object filtering.

    They have been primarily spammed in dictionary attacks using common US
    surnames.

    Want to reply to the person who sent this message? This list is configured such that just hitting reply is going to result in the message coming to the list, not to the individual who sent the message. This was done to help reduce the number of Out of Office messages posters received. So if you want to send a reply just to the poster, you'll have to copy their email address out of the message and place it in your TO: field.
