MAGI TO THE VET - FORGED POSTS (Hinet.net)

Iain Halder wrote [in news.admin.net-abuse.email]: OK! FIRST THING I NEED TO POINT OUT IS THAT ... 1. I AM NOT THE IAIN HALDER REFERRED TO HERE! 2. I DON'T SUBSCRIBE TO THE PHILOSPHY BEING EXPOUNDED BY THIS PERSON! 3. I AM NOT EVEN AN AMERICAN AND SO HAVE NO RIGHT TO COMMENT! 4. I OBJECT VERY STRONGLY TO MY NAME BEING APPROPRIATED IN THIS WAY! THE GUY WHO POSTED THIS IS OBVIOUSLY DELUDED BUT I DON'T WANT YOU MEN & WOMEN OF THIS AND ANY OTHER CATS NEWSGROUP TO THINK I AM THIS PERSON!!! Iain Halder (The REAL One) No, Iain, you are not the one who posted the strange stuff. It was posted by an entity known as "HipCrime" or "Dippy" as part of an attack against the news.admin.net-abuse.email newsgroup. Tens of thousands of these forgeries have been posted directly to NANAE. As a later form of attack the forged posts have been placed into other groups such as rec.pets.cats.health+behav with the Followup-to: headers set to news.admin.net-abuse.email. When an unwitting poster replies, the posts go not to the current group, but instead to NANAE. So NANAE is being indirectly flooded by a series of "WTF", "I did not write that!", etc. posts. Headers with Iain's address munged (@-#): From: Iain Halder iain_halder#btopenworld.com FORGED Newsgroups: rec.pets.cats.health+behav Subject: MAGI TO THE VET Followup-To: news.admin.net-abuse.email REPLIES GO TO NANAE Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 09:27:49 GMT Organization: BT Openworld Lines: 48 Approved: Iain Halder iain_halder#btopenworld.com FORGED Message-ID: References: NNTP-Posting-Host: 220-134-116-191.hinet-ip.hinet.net RAPED PROXY X-Trace: netnews.hinet.net 1101725336 25161 220.134.116.191 (29 Nov 2004 10:48:56 GMT) X-Complaints-To: COMPLAINTS HERE!!!! NNTP-Posting-Date: Mon, 29 Nov 2004 10:48:56 +0000 (UTC) X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 (Macintosh; I; PPC) Oh look, this came through Hinet again! Looks like there may have been a forged cancel too, because the original article never made Google Groups. If you see one of these in one of your groups, carefully reset the followup-to: back to your group and note that it is a forgery with followup-to: set to attack another group. Thanks! Hey you stupid ****. when replyin dont quote the entire ****ing message and top post! Hey Rip (YSF), when replying, make sure your post goes to the right group! ;p P.S. NANAE loves cats! Hope Magi is ok! P.P.S. If you want to participate in the fight against e-mail spam, don your Nomex undies and drop by NANAE.
