Yeah, stupid Read Receipts, going to something other than the envelope
sender. I think the original spammer "requested" a read receipt. I
don't know how those work, but Netscape 4.x had options for that. I
never saw it work when I tried it (a couple years ago).
I just added this to my filter :
if
$h_X-Mailer: contains "Microsoft Outlook"
and
(
$h_Content-Type: contains "application/ms-tnef;"
or
$h_Content-Type: contains "name=winmail.dat"
)
then
logwrite " M$ Lookout read receipt =p"
seen finish
endif
I should find out how well it works soon.
