[anti-abuse-wg] Interesting email abuse header extract

Hello,

The purpose of the abuse header extract in this thread is obvious but
still interesting. I started thinking about all the interesting ways
that cyber criminals, nation states, large corporates and other abuse
purveyors and distributors are always constantly trying to find ways to
break abuse reporting systems,  RBLs DNSBL's Reputational and other
services.

Here is the interesting extract :

It is only interesting because it is so old that it is unusual to see
such an old method in use in 2019. Maybe it is a "new" nation state
trying to build or expand it's cyber weapon arsenal, maybe it is R&D on
a wannabe corporate spammer or corporate spam enabler (esp) maybe it is
just a young cyber criminal

Either way, imho, this type of abuse is even worse than other types of
abuse. As with everything, I guess it is also perspective. From a
nation state perspective it is national security, from a cyber crime
perspective it is r&d, from an abuse admin perspective it is extreme
evil and from the average joe soap or john doe (or whatever the
politically correct method of referring to the average person is) -
the average person simply does not care :)
