Quote: Just a heads-up: I know people on this board are sensible about emails from an unknown source...I got two of those also. It looks like someone's experimenting with creating a bot that Private Messages every username on the board. Fortunately the board's tech makes sure their attempts are highly filtered. Quote: They alledgedly - since the headers could be - come from someone called Heena , and contain some form of attachemnt which I couldn't readily identify (and I wasn't stupid enough to open the emails...). I recieved 8 copies of the message within about 2 minutes.The "attachment" is because your mailer is not handling UTF-8 Chinese correctly. The Private Message form does not allow attachments (for good reason). They can try to cram an encoded attachment in, but it will arrive at the destination mangled to uselessness. Quote: Looking at a quick google search the evidence is that this is a spammer rather than a malware merchant...I'm looking at creative ways to block them without requiring an account for sending PM's. | |||||||
