Those spammers, and their tools...

[Matti Aarnio <mea@nic.funet.fi>]

I got following spam; I am becoming worried, that we really are at
serious arms race.   Nevertheless this one (for a large extent)
apparently bases at relay-hijack, and not that largely at direct
send to the final systems.

Sigh...

Send your email with the Floodgate GoldRush Cloaking Stealth Mailer.
This program will protect your email address while sending your mail 
at speeds of up to 200,000 messages per hour. 

As you may be aware, many of the online services have implemented 
filters that block domains that send bulk mail through their 
system.  GoldRush gets through everytime!! No other mailer can make 
that claim as GoldRush is the ONLY stealth mailer that gets through 
all the blocks, everytime!

FLOODGATE'S GOLDRUSH CLOAKING STEALTH MAILER
               
Here are some of the features designed into this major release. 
GoldRush is pure stealth.  

FEATURES:

      ** If you've lost one too many accounts, this new 
      mailer can completely hide the account of origin.   
      This is done by replacing the Message-Id. Without 
      the Message-Id, your ISP CANNOT trace a message 
      back to you!
...
      ** Provides user defineable "From:"  addresses.
      Or it can randomly generate "From:"  addresses when
      necessary. The ONLY stealth on the market that can 
      get through AOL and Compuserve blocks everytime, the 
      ONLY one.  
...
      ** Automatically maintains your SMTP server list to
      use only the fastest servers or it can distribute your mailing
      evenly among all servers on your preferred list.
     
      ** Much, much more!!

      ** Goldrush works on Windows 3.1, 3.11 or 95.
