[IMC-Tech] Spam with chambana.net Addresses

[Bryan Cribbs]

It is trivial for any "script-kid" to send emails pretending they are 
from some place that they are not.

It's pretty obvious when such misrepresentation occurs (if you look at 
the full headers of the email).

It's sane to worry about it, and it's good to "raise a red flag" when 
you see it en masse.
Chances are it's an "illiterate spammer" (i.e. obsolete methods), but it 
never hurts to know about those.
