Looping spam...?


I'm sure you've all seen this:

...but have I discovered a new phenomenon - looping spam?  I have recently
received this 11 times in 2 days... and that's only the ones that I've
found (too many filters so not all mailboxes checked). For me, this is a
record but I wonder about others. Interestingly, the host in question
accepts SMTP connections and the "To" field always has the "right" info in
there.

I have of course sent the usual reminders but I am beginning to get the red
haze in front of my eyes.

Oh well.

PS: I *am* working on the minutes Right Now - thanks for
the gentle reminders ;-)
