Attention Linux users:

* Tired of wimpy "dialup" spam from low-bandwidth connections?

* Getting bored as even the laziest mail administrators are closing
  their open relays?

* Miss cyberpromo and its spinoffs?

Well, I've got news for you!  Full strength, 24x7 high-bandwidth POWER
SPAM is back -- and the company that's bringing it to you is AT&T!

www.cyber-webcom.com is being used for direct unsolicited bulk email
to my mail server:

Received: from www.cyber-webcom.com (www.cyber-webcom.com [209.239.101.2])
        by barley.electriclichen.com (8.8.7/8.8.7) with SMTP id UAA01440
        for <dmarti at electriclichen.com>; Sun, 22 Nov 1998 20:33:16 -0800

Here are the last few steps of a traceroute:

10  br2-p3100.la2ca.ip.att.net (12.127.9.234)  28.847 ms  32.385 ms  33.858 ms

12.0.0.0 is a class A assigned to AT&T if you're wondering.

(See http://www.cyber-webcom.com/emailplatinum.htm for what they're
offering.)

Yes, that's right, www.cyber-webcom.com is a web server, too (it's a
filthy little Microsoft Windows box) and some other nearby IP
addresses seem to be naughty little network abusers too.

Didn't we already win this one?
