For months I've been getting virus mail from this address (spoofed I'm sure): diesel@mbz.org

All of which have various "attachments", inevitably virus's.

I get about 2-6 per day from this same email. My first inclination is to suspect bigbabboon or one of his cohorts.

Anyone else getting these?

That's the address of the diesel mailing list which has been around forever, so if you're getting anything but mailing list postings from it, they're definitely spoofed.

I thought Richard Sexton operated mbz.org Or didn't Rusty in GA buy the rights to it?

Tom,

Its mostly likely spoofed. Richard hates attachments. The next time you get one, open your details section of the Properties area and you can see which IP it originated from. Copy and paste the entire "details" area in an email to me and I can trace it. I'll let you know whose IP its originating from. Send it to me at my office, I'll send you an email (or PM) and give you my address.

Google whois, you can find the registration information of the site.

TomJ sent me an email and the spoofed emails are coming from a Comcast Cable IP address. The IP address is completely different from mbz.org, its a "forged" header. Don't respond to it, delete it.

Good chance it is someone on the mailing list that has a virus smtp self mailer and it is spoofing the address from the original message sender i.e. diesel@mbz.org

Poor basta_d needs a good virus scanning...

Well, Comcast didn't do SQUAT for the emails, I'm still getting 2-8 per day. In fact, Comcast didn't even respond.

Can't you just install an email filter that will delete any and all emails originating from his email address?

It's in Yahoo. I have it directed to the bulk mail folder, so it's not that big a deal. It's just if I let it go more than a few days, I have a ton of mail stacked there. Also, I suspect it's from someone pointedly trying to send me a virus, NOT a spoofed address book.
