Journal TFBW's Journal: The faked forwarded complaint trick 2

Here's another tactic they're trying. Since they seem to have figured out that my mail server is locked down pretty hard, they've taken to forging an entire message that is supposed to have originated in my system, and then they forward that to some poor random Joe as a complaint! Here's an example I let bounce in earlier. Bear in mind that this is the body of the message I'm posting here.

Hello Fellow Webmaster, <br>
Please check out my most recent articles:<br>

...and so on. What the heck is "X-ClientAddr" supposed to be? And these guys really need to study up on the "Received" header thing. And they also need to figure out that I'm not associated with Zope.

Mind you, they did manage to confuse at least one person into complaining to me over this. I was pretty confused myself when I first saw it -- it didn't make any sense at all.
