the subject is "Get .Mac free for 60 days."
and it was from "News@InsideApple.Apple.com"

after re-reading the message I got it IS coming from Apple...

is anyone else getting this?

Why do Apple keep sending me these mils to my .mac account? Are they stupid? I have been a full member since day one, c-mon Apple sort it out. Part of the ever increasing spam I am getting in the mailbox. And it's not just a bulk mail to all .mac email surely they can tell if a .mac account is registered (they sure can when it's time to renew) ohh well. j. www.pixelrevolution.com/cow/ Posted by Paul on 05-28-2004 05:08 AM: that was a spoofed email... if you look carefully at the headers it was from Apple@Insider (something or other, I don't have it in front of me) is AI.com selling our email addresses?!?!?! did you use your .mac addy to sign up with this server? forward the mail (with FULL header information) to abuse@mac.com "Ladies, if you're a feminist and want respect, it's women you have to fight, not men." -Splinemodel Every 10 seconds, somewhere on this earth, there is a woman giving birth to a child.

Posted by johnrp on 05-28-2004 05:23 AM: Paul It was not spoofed it is a legit Apple mail. j. www.pixelrevolution.com/cow/ Posted by Paul on 05-28-2004 05:37 AM: well I just recently got a VERY similar email that WAS spoofed... and I don't think apple would send out spam like this... especially considering that they can't deliver what the email is offering... I'll post back here after I get a better look at the headers... but I'm 99% sure that Apple.com and mac.com WERE NOT in the "from" address.... but who knows... I could be seeing things...

I guess that 1% I was unsure about pulled through... but still... this is NOT cool... has anyone else gotten spam from apple?

The email in the picture was from Apple as well, even though a personal one. (which multiplicated to a few thousand copies, and the other mltiplicated were from Apple too) <Giaguara's mail.app picture> Mail kept downloading the same 4 or 5 messages again and again. I think I've figured out why the problem reproduced, so I could make mail do it again (or prevent it from happening). Insideapple.apple.com? That's new, I have the show full headers by default, and I don't think I've noticed that one.
