Re: Weird spam message headers

Sun Java System Messaging Server, if i remember correctly, is 
the  replacement for the Iplanet Messaging Server.  We have been using the 
iplanet messaging Server for a number of years. One of the features of the 
messaging server is that it allows you to run smtp, imap, pop3, and 
http/webmail based access to email in one package.  I did a massive search 
through all of the email i have received in the past 3 years and only had 
26 hits.   The vast majority of these came from a mailing list from Sun 
systems admin mailing list and a few other Univs that have moved on to the 
new version.  It appears that sun moved to this server during the summer at 
some non-US research sites .  The remainder were a few spams like what you 
have seen.

but that is not many overall.  I would suspect that the spammers are 
breaking passwords on systems running this software, and then relaying 
their spam through...but don't know for sure that this is the case.

Wish I could help you more.
