I am not sure if this issue of these spam emails has come up on this list
before. In case this is news to any on this list, these emails are not
sent by the person and email address listed as sender. That person is
unaware that these emails with no or little headers and no message except
for a dangerous web URL are the result of either a spoofed email address
or a hacked email account and there has been a new rash of these in the
last week or so. Moderators discussion groups on Yahoo Groups generally
advise putting such email accounts on moderation and only letting
legitimate posts from effected accounts through to reach the list
subscribers. I have seen at least 50 of these messages in the last week
from a variety of lists. I hope this helps.
