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.

modified. Like we
will bomb Saddam, we will kill you the one who is discussed indirectly
as Saddam or Iraq etc. I personally think this wage of those who control
information and events on ordinary should be taken to court and
something must be done about it otherwise a lot of people are going to
suffer. Directly and in real world sense Saddam is a dictator but change
in Iraq must come from inside, but now when people are talking
indirectly God knows which Saddam they are talking about, because
everyone knows Saddam is not a good man.

Yet the issue is not Iraq the real issue will stay in background as
people have to think about something and their attention can be diverted
unlike mine, the real issue is issue of Palestine and systematic inhuman
destruction of other race but Israel, may be they should be reminded
that what happened to them in Germany was not Arab?s fault.

it rather be us thinking about ourselves than we asking for justice and
truth.

But this also brings us to an issue, why can people be direct, honest
and just live in the real world, after all those coward chickens who
control information and events will never be direct, because they know
they are wrong, they can only play indirect games, and if you obey God
properly they can?t do anything to harm you.

Though these are my thoughts but like always they can be wrong, if so
may God forgive me and hope others correct me. May God bring the day
when we become honest, truthful people with Haya and may God give us all
enough courage to ask for unbiased justice and truth. May God give all
the Muslims ability to pray and ability to unite.
