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.

the current science and technology, it should not be hard to
find out the right coordinates of first moon landing. Not finding it now
means there was no landing on moon till today.

Finally you have seen the amount of fuel required to take a spaceship to
International space station, if moon?s gravity is 1/5 of earth?s
gravity, even then we need a lot of fuel to land and fly back to earth,
which was not possible in 1960s and is still not possible today. The
fact is this is where you see the limits of human being :).

So now can anyone tell me what happened yesterday and why it happened
:)? But in anycase these are my thoughts and they can be wrong if so may
God forgive me.

BenLaden is a Jew

Assalam u?Alekum all :) I know some of you may very well be shocked. But
okay now when we have to speak the truth we have to speak the truth. Bin
Laden or perhaps Ben Laden is a Jew, where is the proof, the proof is
out there you only need to be a bit intelligent to decode the
information that is all. Like my yesterday?s BBC post was about using
biological weapons to kill people not about sex. Learn to user your
brain and learn not to be mice when it is the time to do so. For my
proof you need to wait for a while insha?Allah we will pass it on to you
at the right time.

Afghanistan war was created and faught by Israelies for Muslims and the
world one of the benefit of the war is they created a few people that
will never be rejected by Muslims. At the same time they drained all the
potential Muslim during Iraq Iran, Afghanistan and other wars from
society. It may very well be that he has command over devoted Muslims
but the fact is this man has good contact with NSA/NASA that is running
Israeli agenda around the world, this is all about mind control but
sadly many Muslims are not ready to think about such issues at all.

What is more amazing is the fact that these bad guys have affected the
minds of the wh
