Boxbee.com: the new way of spamming people?
Kalin KOZHUHAROV
Sifting through my inbox, I found these two mails, very likely from
the same person:

The e-mail addresses used were:
kiruba.n...@gmail.com
kalaiv...@gmail.com
The mail was sent via google:
Received: from qcfs003.boxbe.com (qcfs003.boxbe.com [38.110.147.12])
by mx.google.com with ESMTP id u5si14721702ics.59.2011.06.24.02.16.09;
Fri, 24 Jun 2011 02:16:09 -0700 (PDT)
Received-SPF: pass (google.com: domain of nor...@boxbe.com designates
38.110.147.12 as permitted sender) client-ip=38.110.147.12;
Authentication-Results: mx.google.com; spf=pass (google.com: domain of
nor...@boxbe.com designates 38.110.147.12 as permitted sender)
smtp.mail=nor...@boxbe.com; dkim=pass header.i=@boxbe.com
So, whoever uses those addresses (and I know you'll not see this mail
directly), GTFO with a service like that on a ML!
On another hand, I think guys at boxee.com have found a very good way
to harvest legitimate addresses (for... guess what? SPAM) and people
using their service are a bit fooled.
But anyway, I don't see the point in using their service for a gmail account!
And if you get such a message, do NOT click on the link.
Cheers,
Kalin.
