Spam from VoteNader.org?  (Or naderexplore04.org)

You may have received spam email recently that appears to come from our
campaign, or be about our campaign -- perhaps the "From" and or
"Reply-to" addresses look like they are coming from VoteNader.org. Or
perhaps you have received a message that appears to come from an
individual (if the address is real, the real owner probably did not send
this email either) with suppressed recipients. Or maybe you received an
email that appeared to come from yourself promoting our site.

These messages are NOT from Nader for President 2004, and these email
tactics are NOT condoned by our campaign in any way.

UPDATE: Some of the latest forged emails have been made to appear to be
coming from naderexplore04.org. Again, we are not responsible for this
unfortunate abuse of email, and there is little in the technical sense
that we can do to prevent this as it has nothing to do with our actual
infrastructure. We are collecting information.

NOTE: The emails with malicious code (viruses, worms, etc.) often have
attachments. Our campaign will NEVER send attachments in our
announcement emails to you. Please be sure that you have anti-virus
software and have the latest updates available for your anti-virus
software.

Our hosting service has alerted us to say that Nader for President 2004
appears to be the target of what is called a "Joe Job." Such an event is
where a spammer forges email to make it appear to have come from some
other domain (such as ours -- or yourself). This is hard to prevent on
our end and part of the insecure nature of the email protocol in
general.

Members of our actual email list must request to receive email from us
(either through Ralph's signup sheets or subscribing during our
exploratory phase, or now on our campaign site). When one signs up for
email they must reply to a confirmation message before they receive our
list announcements.

Our public announcement emails come from "[email protected],"
contain a "Paid for by Nader for President 2004" statement at the
bottom, and have "[email protected]" in the "To:" header.
Unfortunately, some of these indicators can be forged as well.

Most of the Spam that we have received complaints about appear to be
forged from email addresses not associated with votenader.org (often
forged to appear to be coming from government email addresses), and have
our website code embedded in the body of the email with hidden tags that
contain random words that work to subvert anti-spam software.

If you are on our lists, you can ALWAYS unsubscribe at ANY time by
following the instructions included at the end of our announcements. You
can also use our unsubscribe page using the email address you signed up
with.

If you are receiving this SPAM, we extend our apologies.

We will pursue the spammers to the full extent of the law.

--
service have to obey their orders
too, considering what has been happening in Coburg mosque and YMA I
wonder why these things were never questioned. If all this is true then
what it means is these pro-israeli jews would do anything anywhere in
the world to control people.

Many local secret service have complained that they can?t speak against
the authrocities commited by these people because if they do, they might
lose their family, children and even life. This shows how much control
these bad guys have over the society and even our personal life, and how
much fear people have due to which they can?t speak about the truth.

NSA mostly only give orders and is capable of assigning people around
the world, no questions asked. Other secret services only know how to
obey the orders of pro-Israeli NSA. The problems get even more
complicated when NSA administration is chosen and selected by "external
businesses".

I have been told that things get even more complicated when
administration of local secret services is either influenced or
controlled by NSA and at the lower level they have people from YMAs and
Coburg mosques who never get caught and identified. (more to follow).
