Stopping Spam from VoteNader.org
Brian Edwards
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.

down stairs, after seeing me sitting
beside another one of jewish terrorists. All these men were dressed in
black. He did not believe it, he started yelling the other xyz man is
dead too. He ran upstairs to get help, I knew it was time to run.I tried
opening the door on left side at that level, it was locked, they
probably did not want the slice of problem, they just wanted to live an
easy life because I was not their child. So I started running
downstairs, this terrorist cell was in higher part of building. But I
couldn?t run because now lower right leg was completely broken into
pieces, though it was still attached to my body. So I sat and slide over
the fence that was attached to stairs, I only had to get down at the end
of each level to see if the door was open. (rest is given in
undocumented rape of Christianity in Jewish torture cell)
Conspiracy theory?s real script: Undocumented rape of Christianity in jewish torture cells.
In fact one of the doors was open, I went inside I was bleeding too
much, the nurses saw me, they actually knew all this was going on but
they did not want to be part of all this, I realized they will find me
soon, because of traces of blood and no one else wanted to help me
anyway. Probably because they were slaves too, the undocumented slaves
of powerful, wicked and corrupt. Nurse told one of the patients(a very
old man) to come forward and speak to me, he was in wheel chair, he told
me you are bleeding and you are in mental hospital are you crazy, I told
him no Jews are trying to kill me they kidnapped me from my house. He
told me he was also a normal man but because he stood up against them,
they brought him here, and they test biological and chemical weapons on
him, he said his mental condition was decaying. He told me he knows a
few others, he gave me their names too two w
