Re: Spam? Hacked? Spyware?

Gary,

*They are just being BCC'd. BCC recipients do not show up in the SMTP
headers, even if you are a BCC recipient.*

I used to think the same thing but after testing I found out that that is
not the case.

(iPlanet Messaging Server 5.2 HotFix 1.25 (built Mar 3 2004))
with ESMTP id <0IGO001R5TPV28@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for
tmccarroll@xxxxxxxx;


This from the SMTP info on a BCC to tmccarroll@xxxxxxxxx

I still think its spam and could be bcc's. I'm just trying to make sure.
