Hi List, We operate several mail servers with catch all accounts and have noticed a lot of Mailer Daemon 'delivery failed messages mails from genuine sites (mostly German)arriving recently. It would seem the spammers are sending out e-mails with a PDF attachment and a forged senders address to bogus recipients at these organizations whose mail server rejects the message and sends notification to the forged sender. We have opened one attachment on an isolated machine and it was one of the 'watch these stocks they're going through the roof messages (not exactly sure of the details as my German is a bit rusty). My concern is that there could be a 'payload' embedded in the PDF. Is this possible? -- The Simple Server Company PO Box 51528 Pakuranga Auckland 021 413642 09 5768552 http://www.simpleserverco.com This e-mail and any attached files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the addressees. If you have recieved this e-mail in error please inform the sender by sending a reply and delete this message.
