Thanks Scott -----Original Message----- From: pchelpers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pchelpers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Scott McNay Sent: 29 January 2004 03:37 To: Nigel Hunter Subject: [pchelpers] Re: Hi Hi Nigel, Wednesday, January 28, 2004, 12:43:10 PM, you wrote: NH> Hi Scott Is there a relevance with that email address as in viruses or such NH> like My mail server, when it receives an email, records the IP address of the system that it got the email from. Most SMTP servers do this. In this case, the IP address was 196.35.116.196, as you can see in the Received: line, below, which turns out to be mfpsjb01.motorite.co.za (which confirms what my email server says). The Message-Id: line mentions "host25.the-web-host.com", which is the same as my email server, which indicates that the original message did not have a Message-Id: line in it. Since the worm gets the email addresses from the infected system to fill in the From: and To: addresses, whatever system sent the message apparently has emails to or from both hilda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and wizard@xxxxxxxxx That "hi" email on the list is from the same IP address, therefore the same person, whoever it is, is probably a member of this list. ******************** In my email ******************** Received: from movingheads.co.za (hidden-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [196.35.116.196]) by host25.the-web-host.com (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i0S7CTAL014110 for <wizard@xxxxxxxx>; Wed, 28 Jan 2004 02:12:35 -0500 Message-Id: <200401280712.i0S7CTAL014110@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> From: hilda@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To: wizard@xxxxxxxx Subject: Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 09:07:20 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="----=_NextPart_000_0013_564CEC88.FD2B34DD" X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-UIDL: ?k7!!~?"#!Pa%#!3DM!! ******************* Via PCHelpers ******************* Received: from turing.freelists.org (freelists-180.iquest.net [206.53.239.180]) by host25.the-web-host.com (8.12.10/8.12.10) with ESMTP id i0S7IrAL015728 for <wizard@xxxxxxxx>; Wed, 28 Jan 2004 02:18:59 -0500 Received: from turing (localhost [127.0.0.1]) by turing.freelists.org (Avenir Technologies Mail Multiplex) with ESMTP id 0FEFB394ACE; Wed, 28 Jan 2004 02:09:12 -0500 (EST) Received: with ECARTIS (v1.0.0; list pchelpers); Wed, 28 Jan 2004 02:09:09 -0500 (EST) X-Original-To: pchelpers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Delivered-To: pchelpers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Received: from local.nu (mfpsjb01.motorite.co.za [196.35.116.196]) by turing.freelists.org (Avenir Technologies Mail Multiplex) with ESMTP id 2D215394D4A for <pchelpers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Wed, 28 Jan 2004 02:05:36 -0500 (EST) From: wizard@xxxxxxxx To: pchelpers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [pchelpers] Hi Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 09:10:34 +0200 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal Message-Id: <20040128070536.2D215394D4A@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-archive-position: 3660 X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: pchelpers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Errors-To: pchelpers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx X-original-sender: wizard@xxxxxxxx Precedence: normal Reply-To: pchelpers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx X-list: pchelpers X-UIDL: ANG!!~R@!!BRF"!_&="! --Scott.
