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.

I don't hate them, I have no space for them in my heart today and on
judgement day, don't relate with us. My heart is clean place an it is
not for those who have no respect for humanity. All I am asking for is
justice, all I want is truth, all I want is a public decision of these
cases and till the time I win justice, I will continue asking for it.
May God end the days of racists and unfair cowards. May God end the days
of those who play tricks and lie to all of us, may God end the days of
those who hate humanity and other religion because of their mediocrity.
May God end the day of those who can cross all the moral boundaries
against enemies.

Real conspiracy theory's script: leaving the key
Assalam u'Alekum :),
The second night , before the two women came in, Mahmud Kurchu left a
key with me, he told me I have to give this key to the women to got o
hospital during the day, the day came and the women came asked for the
key etc, I gave them this key but they had told me, they can't open door
with that key, infact they had asked me to have unlawful relationship
with them too. So my final night at that jewish torture cell was really
a hell. YMA and Mahmud Kurchu was torturing me only to find out if I
understand things are not, he was breaking my bones one by one and the
conclusion of this toture was okay he does not understand things.
I guess not being a jew does not make me a human being so I can be
tortured exclusively, just to find out some basic facts. Abu Omar a Jew
one had told me before he went to Pak
