actually much of the SPAM is from the US, it is just re-routed through
a foreign ISP, to mask it's origin... the email below appears to be from
Korea -- ssymail.ssy.co.kr (ssymail.ssy.co.kr [203.244.4.3] -- but
is actually from the USA via att.net -- mis.prserv.net [12.64.61.135]
! The Hotmail email may also be forged, but if it is not Microsoft/Hotmail
is very good at removing offenders. In response to this SPAM I forwarded
this MEssage with full headers to: abuse@att.net and abuse@hotmail.com
<p>look for the first "Received:" -- looking bottom up -- as a message
is re-routed a new "Received:" is added to the top of the heap.
<p>below, the first[originating] IP address is 12.64.61.135.
<p>HTH,
<p>Valdis Krebs
