dra007 Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 I just reported a curious spam from a usual chinese spammer: Finding links in message body Parsing HTML part Resolving link obfuscation http://nanjncjhwef.stoproomblood.com/healt...xplikdieqp.html http://nanjncjhwef.stoproomblood.com/the.c...u&l=active20001 Tracking link: http://nanjncjhwef.stoproomblood.com/the.c...e&l=active20001 No recent reports, no history available Cannot resolve http://nanjncjhwef.stoproomblood.com/the.c...e&l=active20001 Can somene tell me why this seems to reference my alias and domain name? Rather odd, what purpose would this serve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenUnderwood Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 This is a common trick used to track if you opened the email. The spammer can look in their web logs and see that the message sent to YourName<at>Your.Domain was used to access the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't understant the SpamCop's reaction to that link. (Perhaps designed to prevent form confirming the e-mail?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
