This phony U.K. lottery spam http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z948355688z7f00015eb266672cf1d7d5c584e4cc54z returned a Yahoo URL link that was referenced in the SpamCop report as "previously appealed". This required me to look at the spam and it appears the Yahoo! mail address is a customer-service address possibly associated with a real U.K. lottery operation. Does anyone know enough about the U.K. lottery ops to say whether this e-mail address should be LARTed? I just noticed a posting from Berny about a new trend toward IB links being deliberately included by spammers. Would this be an example? Interestingly, I found two other e-mail addresses in the spambody at katamail.com and myway.com, which looked like they could be spammer contacts, which were not picked out by the parser. TIA, Michael
