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 "campaign@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
"
contain a "Paid for by Nader for President 2004" statement at the
bottom, and have "updates@[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.

had few minutes, I was a bit unconscious, as I could
hear them I woke up, and Maryam asked why can?t he close his yes, as my
eyes were still open, she said we were looking for him for three days,
what happened to him, She was really worried about me. I told them
Americans kidnapped and tonight they will come back to kill me, please
swap the chart, they did all this too me, they definitely will kill me
they don?t want anyone to know what is going on. There was another guy
in my room, I had conversation with him earlier in the day, he had
killed someone, I told him I was dreaming so I will be out of it, he
laughed. Nurse gave me something and I just feel asleep, I kept begging
to her to swap the charts, anyway my conclusion was well they will kill
me. As soon as I feel asleep they were asked to leave the room, they
did, but someone came during the mean while and changed the swapped the
charts.
In the middle of the night two guys came, (one of them was later caught
he was working for CIA as I recognized his voice), as nurse has gone
somewhere, they read the charts and they were confused a bit about who
really is the real Mohsin, as my chart was hanging next to his bed, so
after a bit of discussion they gave him the injections, the other guy
told him hurry up this guys(I) is waking up, I was praying to God for
help all this period. This other guy finally had concluded that it is me
who was supposed to be killed, he said he is too young etc etc, they
started fighting with each other, during the mean while nurse came back
to counter. The CIA guy called someone to move the nurse, the nurse
after a while went away again, as they had given all the other
injections to other guys, they gave him the last one too, and left in
hurry, apparently the next morning this guy was found dead in his bed
due to heart attack, it is believ
