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.

modified. Like we
will bomb Saddam, we will kill you the one who is discussed indirectly
as Saddam or Iraq etc. I personally think this wage of those who control
information and events on ordinary should be taken to court and
something must be done about it otherwise a lot of people are going to
suffer. Directly and in real world sense Saddam is a dictator but change
in Iraq must come from inside, but now when people are talking
indirectly God knows which Saddam they are talking about, because
everyone knows Saddam is not a good man.

Yet the issue is not Iraq the real issue will stay in background as
people have to think about something and their attention can be diverted
unlike mine, the real issue is issue of Palestine and systematic inhuman
destruction of other race but Israel, may be they should be reminded
that what happened to them in Germany was not Arab?s fault.
http://www.smh.com.au/photography/regular/snapshots/image/2002/12/11/image.html?picindex=0,
it rather be us thinking about ourselves than we asking for justice and
truth.

But this also brings us to an issue, why can people be direct, honest
and just live in the real world, after all those coward chickens who
control information and events will never be direct, because they know
they are wrong, they can only play indirect games, and if you obey God
properly they can?t do anything to harm you.

Though these are my thoughts but like always they can be wrong, if so
may God forgive me and hope others correct me. May God bring the day
when we become honest, truthful people with Haya and may God give us all
enough courage to ask for unbiased justice and truth. May God give all
the Muslims ability to pray and ability to unite.

I
found out he was a Jew). On the other hand he and his friend Selgin Inan
agreed with each other and Selgin Inan slept around with her. It is
amazing how his Jewish dad did not get unhappy about she sleeping around
with a man who was trying to kill him but got angry at me over something
that was not a big issue at all. I honestly don?t think Jews should
point any fingers at anyone to call others racist. And as all this sound
very complicated to me, all the Jewish Muslims are fired unless they
prove that they really are honest, just, caring and true followers of
Islam.

All this me being racist and killing my wife(which I never had) kept
going around till my final year and during all this period I did not
know what was going on. It is also said that the girl now is a "US
marine", I don?t know what that means but it sound scary. I don?t know
how many babies they are going to torture and how many Muslims they will
abuse for not obeying them but people should know that Muslim minds and
culture today is slave.

Well I would like Jewish Muslims to know they already have made a lot of
damage to my body and nervous system for things that I did not do so now
you will not be accepted back, personally I see you people as Hyenas,
who attack people from the back and kill children. You see then may be
at that time the issue did not exist but now it does as I will take it
to court and I want unbiased justice and I don?t want any more kids to
be tortured in
