From: lan@panix.com (Larry) Newsgroups: news.admin.net-abuse.misc Subject: New site for Crusader email-spam... Date: 26 Sep 1995 02:47:33 -0400 Message-ID: <4487m5$t2t@panix3.panix.com> He's got a new home: mc3.hq.eso.org. My interpretation of the headers is that this spam came directly off of that site, which happens to be in Germany -- I think the slip.net is a red herring. Interestingly, I beleive this type of thing is illegal in Germany, so perhaps they will start a criminal investigation. Also, note that my account that got hit has made only one posting ever, to misc.test on August 9th, 1995. If he's combing usenet, then that's where it came from. I sent myself a message through both implicated sites. (I tried to do this via cdsxb6.u-strasbg.fr as well, but that machine is either down or behind a firewall.) Both have received lines that look like: ============================================ > Received: from panix3.panix.com by mc3.hq.eso.org (4.1/ eso-4.2) > id AA09471; Tue, 26 Sep 95 06:39:10 +0100 and > Received: from panix3.panix.com (panix3.panix.com [198.7.0.4]) by > slip-1.slip.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) with SMTP id WAA17147 for > <lan@panix.com>; Mon, 25 Sep 1995 22:24:42 -0700 =========================================== After comparing those to the headers on the original message (below), I think that at the very least, this mail entered the SMTP stream at mc3.hq.eso.org. I think the reference to slip.net was most likely put there by the spammer. (Does anyone know if slip.net had a problem with some nazis at some point?) Original headers: (attacked site hidden by me.) > Received: from XXXXXXX (XXX.XXXXX.XXXX [XXX.XX.XXX.XX]) by panix4.panix.com (8.6.12/8.6.12+PanixU1.1) with SMTP id BAA16440 for <lan@panix.com>; Tue > , 26 Sep 1995 01:08:42 -0400 > Received: from mc3.hq.eso.org by XXXXXXX (5.x/SMI-SVR4) > id AA19392; Tue, 26 Sep 1995 01:08:17 -0400 > Received: by mc3.hq.eso.org (4.1/ eso-4.2) > id AA07019; Tue, 26 Sep 95 05:24:03 +0100 > Received: by slip-1.slip.net (8.6.9/8.6.9) > id AA27149; Mon, 25 Sep 95 20:11:43 -0700 > Date: Mon, 25 Sep 95 20:11:43 -0700 > From: Crusader@National.Alliance (Crusader) > Message-Id: <568.32472628@National.Alliance> > Subject: The Long March > Apparently-To: Crusader@panix.com I will be tracking the search for this person on http://www.panix.com/~lan/crusader -- if you have any relevant information for the web page, please email it to me. --L http://www.panix.com/~lan
