Re: Porno spam using form submissions

David
I have had those also.  When I got them they all said  something
like WWW Form Submission.  I didn't investigate them because I immediately
felt it as a disguise.  They could put anything as the header, and create
emails that look like a form result.  But some of the things that I found
missing were the
user information stats that alot of folks include in their forms.  And most
forms ask for alot more info.  They are few and far between when I get them,
but no matter they always look alike.

I think it is just faked.   Not to say they are not hacked into that
companies computer to send these, I just think they are fabricated.  But in
this world anything is possible.
