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.

and feet. These jews then
divided themselves in two groups, one that would check each level other
that was running down stairs.

They stopped at each level in an attempt to find me, they would hit and
knock the doors really hard to wait for some nurse to open the door,
each time they were told no. They did this because there was another
exist on the other side too, so may be after locking I just ran off
though other exist. All this gave me enough time to place create
distance, I stopped for a while too due to pain, when I reach the end of
stairs, the final door was open, I went in, they had already called
someone over their, one of the lady workers said, he has murdered two
people, they called us from upstairs but they did not want to stop me, I
told her while I was moving forward by jumping on left leg. I said jews
are trying to kill me, lock the door, call the cops and ambulance. their
face colour changed, I think they knew the truth, how crazy people look
like, bleeding, in high fever and running away with broken bones, but
they did not help me or stop me, they just did not want to be part of
it. I ran out of building, I already had lost a lot of blood, my head
was spinning, their was truck standing just outside the door, the door
was open, I jumped inside there were a lot of white towels an
