[VHFcontesting] Garbage messages

[John (JK) Kalenowsky, K9JK]

Appears that somebody's computer got hit by a virus...the messages I'm 
seeing are addressed TO vernon at contesting.com and usually CC'd to 
vickey at contesting.com and vhfcontesting at contesting.com. These are probably 
just random e-mail addresses that got picked out of somebody's address book 
and likely not an indication that vernon or vickey (or the reflector) or one 
of their computers was actually the 'victim' of the virus.

The HTML is being filtered somewhere along the way so we are just seeing the 
meaningless words that have been placed in the message to try and make the 
message appear legitimate to some of the checking programs.

Best "we" can probably do is ignore them (I've put the source domain, 
(at)hongkong(dot)com, in my list of blocked domains so these messages go 
straight to my Junk e-mail folder).

73, JK
