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 = From:,To:,Cc:,Bcc:,Date:,Subject:,Return-Path:,Received:,Delivered-To: rc_max_attach_lines = 0 If you're currently using ASK, please change your configuration as soon as possible to prevent further propagation of spam.
