Journal TFBW's Journal: Looks like they want you to give me a call 1

They're trying a new tactic, by the look of it. I've seen a whole bunch of bounces come in -- primarily from .au domains -- which contain the following key bit.

MAIL-AWAY MAILING SERVICE
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

So in addition to the usual "abuse" addresses, they're trying to get people to abuse me in person over the phone. I'll be polite. People tend to get very sheepish when they realise they've made a mistake. I wonder if it will generate any calls?

At the bottom of the same message, there's about twenty blank lines, followed by TWENTY-TWO instances of the following URL.

<http://www.epsilon.com.au/user/famous/submit.pl?id=contact&subject=Follow
Your Instructions For This to Stop&text=UEFF Jugement is final>

That's followed by about thirty links to my Nutters-dot-org logo. Go figure. The URL above is a link to my form-processing page, or it looks like it's meant to be. It's broken in the mail instance I have here. If it were properly formed and submitted, it would send me a message with a "subject" of "Follow Your Instructions For This to Stop", and a message body of "UEFF Jugement is final". Nice spelling, guys. Some of the earlier spams also seem to have links back to my feedback forms which also contain the phrase "follow_your_instructions_ASAP".

What do you all make of that? Anyone heard of a "UEFF" before?
