I did not know MX was part of a string. I had not noticed it in other e-mails from the past. damn the bad luck. If I get more, I will post them just to see if others are getting these same variations.

For instance, here is a "Received" line from one of my pieces of legitimate e-mail:

from imo-d06.mx.aol.com (imo-d06.mx.aol.com [205.188.157.38]) by flpvm23.prodigy.net (8.12.10 083104/8.12.10) with ESMTP id j3TL7hLn028371 for ; Fri, 29 Apr 2005 14:07:47 -0700

If I recall correctly, "MX" refers to a mail server.

If even legitimate e-mail contains "MX" then obviously you cannot use this string to filter for spam.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13381653 Wed, 11 May 2005 09:59:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13381110 plk : I have noticed almost all my spam on hotmail all has MX as part of it's domain. I suppose the spammer uses it to track. The rest of the domain changes, but always has mx as part of it. Why hasn't hotmail caught on to this and used it to trace it or block it.

Are you folks seeing this?
