Hi!
I think you'll find it is some kind of a service that Dell uses to distribute their newsletters/e-mail updates. If I remember the "HP Newsgram" comes from a similar *.m0.net domain. I think I did look into finding out who was behind this a while back, but if I did that, the name escapes me now. William |

It's registered to Digital Impact which seems to distribute
stuff for others; http://www.digitalimpact.com/ "William R. Walsh" wrote in message news:fgIyd.246662$V41.166694@attbi_s52... Hi!

Thanks for the helpful responses. I thought it seemed okay, but with the
popularily of phishing attacks, it really seems strange that a major player in the computer business wouldn't just use their own domain names. Its not just computer companies at fault in this respect. I`ve had email from Morgan Stanley (a credit card company) sent via a third party, with tracking links that go via yet another third party. Any email that needs to contain a link to a site with a password should only be sent in plain text IMO. No tracking links should be used either. -- Please add "[newsgroup]" in the subject of any personal replies via email --- My new email address has "ngspamtrap" & @btinternet.com in it ;-) --- |

Could also be done for security, to hide details about the corperate mail system. |

Could also be done for security, to hide details about the corperate
mail system. Shouldn`t that be an issue for the companies to figure out, not the end user who is constantly being phished ? -- Please add "[newsgroup]" in the subject of any personal replies via email --- My new email address has "ngspamtrap" & @btinternet.com in it ;-) --- |

I've had 2-3 Citibank phishing mails show up in my box, even though I'm not a customer. Stew |

The end user needs to be aware of scams, phishing is a huge problem but companties cannot bear the burden alone, end users have some ammount of burden on themselves to not answers emails that ask for personal information. Call up your bank and ask them about an email you get asking for personal information - if its not a bank, call Dell, etc. Its not hard. I've already got my mom and dad doing it as well as my grandma, aunts, and uncles. They are not very computer literate but they now have a little voice in the back of their head saying - Ohh... That could be a scam...

Cyclops,
I get these also from time to time. For example I got one from Amazon. I forwarded it to , they emailed me back and suggested I send any further questionable emails to http://www.amazon.com/stopspoofing . So they are taking it seriously. Most of the major players do have addresses that you can sent these emails to, they're very interested in the header information of the sender.

Most of the major players do have addresses that you can sent these emails to, they're very interested in the header information of the sender. If I remember correctly, RFC's require mail operators to have an externally visible abuse@ address for abuse of the email system or emails from the network that are abuse of that network. I would be very surprised if Dell didn't have a similar address. - -- David Wade Hagar AKA Cyclops http://members.cox.net/dwhagar http://www.livejournal.com/users/dwhagar http://genius-of-lunacy.blogspot.com/ "It's sick, but it serves a purpose." - Bill Cosby PGP key ID - 0x5824443B http://members.cox.net/dwhagar/personal-key.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: http://members.cox.net/dwhagar/personal-key.asc Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkHPOEYACgkQbPwf4VgkRDulCACgncoANBApOf I4eBhPAaW8XICf mOIAoIBcDbrimCSfrLWu/t9PVWYp48jf =UuXn -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
