OT: Merry Christmas Reflector mail??
 

So how did all of our "Merry Christmas" posts get into that
"de.alt.test,bit.listserv.test" newsgroup and why did I get a "reflector
email" response?

Those were crossposted all over the place. I saw them on several
newsgroups but only got hit here. I got the reflector and a set of
spams for confirming online banking and paypal accounts. I have
neither.

You, like lots of others got nailed by a shitstain called hipcrime/dippy.
It is trying to flood news.admin.net-abuse.email and failed. So it posted
tons of ---- through open relays. Each one forging some users nym and email
address and all setting a follow-up to nanas.

Your getting a reflector because you used a valid email address and that is
what the test groups do. Back in olden days news servers would respond back
using your email address saying "Got it at $time $date $from". Now days most
do not because of abuse.

If you see these on groups you frequent, please let the folks there know
what's going on.

I got a couple from Ripe.com and reported them, Ripe.com replied
saying they weren't responsible for the hacker, spammers. But, something
must have happen they stopped sending them to me.
