RE: [Flora-help] [Fwd: AOL email concerns for flora.ca]

Russell, a spammer has been forging the Greenspace Alliance domain name
(greenspace-alliance.ca) as "From:" in a spam campaign since November (over 20K
bounces in my file). Perhaps AOL is incorrectly associating spam with the forged
source domain. As we are certainly not sending it, we can do nothing about it,
except perhaps change our domain name and remove the original. Do you have the
actual email from AOL. I would like to look at its headers and see if AOL
actually sent this.
