Hello all,

It has come to my attention that some spammers are using ASK as a
reflector. The spammer sends the email to some unsuspecting ASK user with
a forged "From:" address. ASK will, in turn, relay the spam with a copy of
the original message attached to the confirmation. To prevent this kind of
misuse, please edit your ~/.askrc file and change the following variables
accordingly:

rc_basic_headers =3D From:,To:,Cc:,Bcc:,Date:,Subject:,Return-Path:,Receive=
d:,Delivered-To:
rc_max_attach_lines =3D 0

If you're currently using ASK, please change your configuration as soon as
possible to prevent further propagation of spam.

Regards,
Paga
