Statement on Spam and VoteNader.org
be...@votenader.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.

Well Graham Sayers who
came to buy me one way or another or kill me, told me that you know what
is eye in the sky. We are, we the NASA, you know what that international
space station is about. He was thinking that by telling me all this, he
might be able to scare me and buy me. NSA/NASA did not spend much money
to really do any great work for humanity, instead of that money was
spend on developing network for satellites, these satellites do various
kind of things, like spying on human race every where, communication
with other NASA brothers around the world, keeping track of people who
might be against them, using possible GPS system, Graham Sayers claimed
that it was NSA?s effort to develop this protocol. There are other tasks
assigned to these satellites you can find them on your own now or else
we will let you know after the deadline insha?Allah. NASA has a few tens
of satellites (approx 30) that are spying on the whole human race.
Most of the tax money NASA received from United states government was
used to develop weapons of mass destruction and spy networks. We can
clearly see from the fact that no one has been to the moon yet :). The
biological weapons that were developed by NSA, no one has the cure for
them, even CIA. Like the biological weapon with which human brain can be
dissolved, a production of NSA but as CIA claimed they don?t have any
cure for this, as NSA developed this technology.
May God free us all from the wicked, liar and cowardly coward inhuman
bad guys who like to attack people from the back, as they are the real
friends of devil. wa?Salam Mohsin
NSA brothers and co :)
Assalam u?Alekum
