This isn't new, it's an old trick. Some people and mail services whitelist the address book, into which people often put their own addresses. It also guarantees that the from address is a real address, in case the receiving server tries to verify it. Treat them like any other spams, provided that you also learn some ham along the way there shouldn't be any more problem than with any other token that's characteristic of the delivery path. _______________________________________________ Bogofilter mailing list [email protected] http://www.bogofilter.org/mailman/listinfo/bogofilter
