Hi Hans-Martin,<br>
<br>
> looks like someone on this list had their PC and/or mailbox hacked, I got a "reply" to one of my mails trying to make me open some link (probably malware). This stuff is pretty common, but it feels a bit weird that it happened through someone who's active
in anti-abuse and presumably not a noob :-)<br>
<br>
I received a similar message on Monday supposedly �in reply to� a message I sent to the list nearly two years ago.<br>
<br>
It may not be a list subscriber�s mailbox that has been hacked, it may just be using a public archive of the list. Whilst the �real name� in the From: field was indeed the person I was replying to at the time (Suresh), the sender�s email address did not match
the name.<br>
<br>
In my case the spam message originated from:<br>
> Received: from beatingart.com ([62.113.107.99])<br>
<br>
The sending IP address matches the SPF record for beatingart.com and from a quick check doesn�t seem to be on the major block lists, so it could well be a user in that domain has been compromised via phishing or some other means�<br>
<br>
I must admit I had just deleted the message at the time, but perhaps worth following up with <abuse@ionos.com>, assuming your message matches the details of mine.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Rob<br>
