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 "camp...@votenader.org,"
contain a "Paid for by Nader for President 2004" statement at the
bottom, and have "upd...@lists.votenader.org" 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.

possible.

Israelies have good control over Muslim women

Assalam u?Alekum,

In mid 2001, a man who claimed he was working for BBC told me that Jews
need my next generation, so it is either I give it to them voluntarily
or they will forcibly take it. I asked him how can he make me do
unlawful things when I don?t want to he said they can, they have very
good control over Muslims. He asked me my likes and dislikes, and the
next day one of my neighbour?s Muslim girl comes to my door and asks me
that she wants to learn some maths of so. Well because she didn?t bring
anything with her, so I though she was joking, this girl came into my
house forcibly and during all this period I had to stay out of my own
house. But I was lucky as I did not really understand what it mean,
apparently when someone says you don?t know maths then it means you
don?t know rude things or so. I don?t know I guess the world is really
coming to an end, everything has a rude meaning thanks God I don?t know
many o

NSA will kill me.
He said he is from NSA and no one question NSA?s authority. All those
jewish guys were working for sercret service, one of them who was named
"imran khan". He told Graham that may be I should be given some
biological weapons that would desolve my brain, as I am too intelligent,
he said they already did and now they can?t do that anymore. Then his
another friend from students gave him a suggestion that may be they
should give me biological weapons that would erase my memory. He offered
me a few tens of millions in a hope that he would be able to buy me (now
I know where people?s tax money is going). He also told them that the
reason we need either a jewish Muslim agent or jewish girl married to
me, is because they want to know what I am doing and what I am planning
to do.

He said he might let me live but Palestine issue has to go.

He said, I hope lights are not turning red, I heard that lights are
turning red, red lights mean we need to go faster.

He said that if he does not listen to us this week we are going to
finalise his case and kill him in this week. He said that they either
need my "sperms" or else at least two of m
