Dear Folks,
I received the following spam mail. But it had a return
address of my computer from a non-existent account, and a "to" address of
alpha-osf-managers_at_ornl.gov.
I went immediately to the archives and found out that an identical
article had come from:
"J&K Enterprises"_at_sws1.ctd.ornl.gov
So I am wondering, did other people get the same Spam with a weirdly
modified From: and To: heading? Or do I need to do something about security
on my system, quick!
If not, somebody needs to check out "sws1.ctd.ornl.gov" and get rid of
those spammers.
Thanks

Hi, my name is Jim and I am so excited about this wonderful system
that I have come across. I am a person who regularly deletes unwanted
junk mail from my mailbox. The catchy subject of this E-Mail made me
curious so I decided to read it. I read it several times and decided
what the heck, its only $20.00, and I can sure afford to let go of that
much and I figured, what do I have to lose, $20.00? I've always been
taught, nothing ventured, nothing gained, and I realize the scams out
