STRICTLY AND CONFIDENTIAL,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Hint this this is a hoax..(I mean to a mailing list?)
I thought is was only my ~/.procmailrc having a hickup.
Someone harvested the archives of this mailinglist for email addresses,
and is sending various forms of these "Nigerian 419 scam" emails. I use
netfilter@xxxxxxxxxx for ONLY this mailinglist and associated
conversations, and I get about one of these every 2-3 weeks now at that
address.
They're mailing direct to the email addresses found in the archive. I forward them to the Secret Service, who collect these in the US.
My latest was two days ago:
