Hello Jeff, All,
Just received some spam today from a site that needs to be whitelisted on SURBL -- multiply.com
Valid community-based, free (adv sponsored), social networking, email-generating system. We've received valid emails from people using the system as it is intended.
However, even when used as intended, it's liable to a domino/cascade effect. Emails sent to person A's contact list which includes B, C, and D, can be automatically forwarded to their contact lists, their contacts' contacts' contacts, etc.
That's the spam received today -- email once removed, where A's contact list would be appropriate, but we're on B's contact list, and have no interest in this email from A.
Think of it as the forward of a forward of a forward problem, where it's not a matter of that last forward being sent mindlessly -- it was sent automatically.
I'll be adding this to the SARE rules system somewhere, but it's too early now to predict how large or small a score it will have.
