Or something else recognizable? 'oogled without finding anything. I ask because since I started aggressively obfuscating 'by hand' everything I suspected might be a unique userid before submitting full texts, I have quit getting a flood of new spam in the day immediately after reporting something. Down from half a dozen a day or more, to one spam every few days. So if this sort of strange header is tracking responses, any problem deleting them? I realize it's an arms race, and I don't know how to tell which spams are what an admin called "gamut spam"(obfuscation not an issue) and which ones are actually tracking people who report the spam.
