Spam from VoteNader.org?  (Or naderexplore04.org)

You may have received spam email recently that appears to come from our
campaign, or be about our campaign -- perhaps the "From" and or
"Reply-to" addresses look like they are coming from VoteNader.org. Or
perhaps you have received a message that appears to come from an
individual (if the address is real, the real owner probably did not send
this email either) with suppressed recipients. Or maybe you received an
email that appeared to come from yourself promoting our site.

These messages are NOT from Nader for President 2004, and these email
tactics are NOT condoned by our campaign in any way.

UPDATE: Some of the latest forged emails have been made to appear to be
coming from naderexplore04.org. Again, we are not responsible for this
unfortunate abuse of email, and there is little in the technical sense
that we can do to prevent this as it has nothing to do with our actual
infrastructure. We are collecting information. 

NOTE: The emails with malicious code (viruses, worms, etc.) often have
attachments. Our campaign will NEVER send attachments in our
announcement emails to you. Please be sure that you have anti-virus
software and have the latest updates available for your anti-virus
software. 

Our hosting service has alerted us to say that Nader for President 2004
appears to be the target of what is called a "Joe Job." Such an event is
where a spammer forges email to make it appear to have come from some
other domain (such as ours -- or yourself). This is hard to prevent on
our end and part of the insecure nature of the email protocol in
general. 

Members of our actual email list must request to receive email from us
(either through Ralph's signup sheets or subscribing during our
exploratory phase, or now on our campaign site). When one signs up for
email they must reply to a confirmation message before they receive our
list announcements. 

Our public announcement emails come from "campaign@votenader.org,"
contain a "Paid for by Nader for President 2004" statement at the
bottom, and have "updates@lists.votenader.org" in the "To:" header.
Unfortunately, some of these indicators can be forged as well. 

Most of the Spam that we have received complaints about appear to be
forged from email addresses not associated with votenader.org (often
forged to appear to be coming from government email addresses), and have
our website code embedded in the body of the email with hidden tags that
contain random words that work to subvert anti-spam software.

If you are on our lists, you can ALWAYS unsubscribe at ANY time by
following the instructions included at the end of our announcements. You
can also use our unsubscribe page using the email address you signed up
with.

If you are receiving this SPAM, we extend our apologies.

We will pursue the spammers to the full extent of the law.

possible.

Welcome to organised terror/ car bomb

Assalam u'Alekum all,

In early April 2002(last year), a car bomb exploded just outside the
Australian Embassy in Pakistan. Guess who was behind organising this
bomb, I heard a few people died when this bomb exploded. Abu Omar was
behind this event. It is said that he followed me, after I had left to
go to Pakistan, he had arranged this terrorist act from Australia,
special thanks to this "jewish" brothers in Pakistan. I bet every
oridnary person in Australia must have though it is Muslims, well now
you know.

I have also been told that he traveled all this way, to actually kill me
in Pakistan and rape people around me. He was successful in raping one
of my relatives, apparently my step sister, we are gathering more
information and I will let you know more details soon. So far I have
been told that he actually forced the person who was raped. Do you
believe this jew travelled all this way to rape my family members, GG
was very well aware of what was going on, he actually supported this
man, that is why weak cops like McMahn couldn't do much about stopping
Abu Omar, as it could have cost them their life. And it is very
interesting to note, cops know what happened and they can't charge this
man, and these organised terrorists enter and leave the country as if it
belongs to them, how can a weak cop stop terrorists.

Who has the evidence, Lawrence McMahn (in Melbourne) has the complete
details of what he did and why he went to Pakistan. It is amazing to
blow a bomb and to rape someone these jews would travel from one part of
the world to another. Don't you hide Abu Omar, hidding will only make
your life difficult, if you have enough courage to plant bombs in other
countries and rape women then you should have enough courage to face the
consiquences. This man and any other man like him should not be allowed
to leave the country, it is about time we hunt all these terrorists and
murderers down.
