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.

created by God, how can BenLaden attack someone from
the back and be a good Muslim. Though these are my thoughts, but like
always they can be wrong, if so you only have to prove me wrong. May God
give us all the ability to analyse information and events and observe
the limits created by God. May God give us all the ability to think and
analyse. May God unite all the Muslims and give them ability to pray.

Controlling actions and thoughts of ordinary people using religion

Assalam u?Alekum all :) Since NSA/NASA was created most of the money was
directed to control the minds of ordinary around the world. Abu Omar is
a Jew working for Israeli secret services, told me that we have NSA, and
once he mistakenly told me (was in fact telling his students) that
Muslims are controlled by Jews by sending people to their Islamic
centres and mosques around the world, he said they have their people in
every town and village. He said this way they know what is going on and
they have good control over minds and behaviour of people, basically
these people control our religion. Most of the Muslim religious leaders
are either Jews but won?t mention this to you (keeping it top secret and
acting Muslim) or else they are married to someone Jewish (like some
leading Imams in Melbourne) or have Jewish relatives (like Musharraf
from Pakistan).

In Abu Omar?s case who used to give lectures in our mosque, he told us
that Jews and Christians are fighting against I
