For weeks already now - if not months - I am regularly seeing new posts/threads
- multiple per day - which are all repeats of older posts. It pertains to a
conversation between "AZ Nomad" and "someone@gmail.com" in a thread called "Re:
Need help deciphering emerge errors".
The only new thing about the new posts is that previous (limited) headers are
included in the message body. The quoted text and the reply are the same. All
posts simply have a number of "To" and "From" headers in the message body, and
the number of these increases with every new post. The last post to show up
like this from "AZ Nomad" shows 244 lines, most of which are those headers and
blank spacer lines.
Also included in the message body is something that looks like this:
-+- BBBS/LiI v4.01 Flag
+ Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38)
-+- Synchronet 3.15a-Win32 NewsLink 1.92
* Time Warp of the Future BBS - Cougar, Washington -
telnet://time.synchro.net
... but repeated like a dozen times.
This started when a number of strange posts started to appear in what appears
to be Arabic, posted by someone who is obviously using Windows - there's a
reference to a Windows codepage in his e-mail address. Several of these posts
always show up together with the repeated conversation between the other two
posters mentioned. The posts in Arab script also have such repeated headers
and that repeated "BBBS/LiI" thing in them.
I don't know whether it's some goof-up at Eternal September - my news service -
but I imagine that they would have noticed this themselves by now if it were.
So what exactly are we dealing with here? Is anyone else seeing this too?
