Crackers gather addressbooks from account they crack into at AOL, Yahoo, etc., and then sell or rent the cracked account's local-parta and domain email address along with all that was in the addressbook to spammers. (-: Is the Millions CD even a 'thing' anymore? :-) I see such forged email 'from' my fool brother-in-law (still using AOL) frequently. A simile inspection of the headers would show the email never passed through any AOL servers. His Windows Pee-Cee is cracked on a somewhat frequent schedule. sigh.... Most assuredly. My email account is a wild-card email account. I see incoming email directed to all sorts of local-part names. I've come to believe quite a few local-name 'fabrications" come from folks that want to sign up at a website, at a conference, at a retail store for some reason but do not wish to give out their real email addy. And, too, I see local-part construction from just dragging a finger randomly across the keyboard. My ISP uses my spam folder as input to his system-wide spamassassin filtering. He finds it quite useful. :-) Be safe out there, Jonesy -- Marvin L Jones | Marvin | W3DHJ | linux Pueblo, Colorado | @ | Jonesy | FreeBSD __ 38.238N 104.547W | jonz.net | DM78rf | SK
