Thomas,
How would a hijacker know to spam our PRIVATE list with the
stolen return email address of a subscribed member?? Flyrotary only
accepts emails from subscribers.
No... The problem in THIS case is an infected machine that belongs
to Steve. Besides, it's easy to tell it's hijacked. Steve can't spell
worth a darn, and this spam mail was perfectly written (grin)
