I got an e-mail today addressed to someone else. It was aimed at someone with a @hotmail account. I don't have a @hotmail account. The e-mail had an address totally different from mine, but I ended up with it. Advertising for some wretched diet scheme. Why would an ISP send one of its clients e-mail not addressed to that client ? Is it a server problem or the client's mail software? Or perhaps, internet voodo?
Most spam is like that, from what I've seen. It's no different than a BCC. The address in the To/CC headers really has nothing to do with the address used for delivery (negotiated within SMTP).
BTW, has anyone had any experience with Razor (for spam detection)?

Log into RH 7.1, get no prompt. Rebooted the system, hangs loading ipchains firewall settings. If I use interactive startup, and bypass this, I can login. But again, no prompt.
I'm new to Linux, and have no idea where to start with this.....
