In the past few days, a spam operation that uses many domains in the From headers of its emails but has other characteristics that connect it is sending spam from PHPList. The numbers of domains are large, probably to evade domain blocklists.
PHPList: Below is a set of redacted spam samples for you. We see multiple copies of the exact same spam coming from multiple IP addresses on your system. The first sample shows three IP addresses that sent the exact same spam today, within a single hour range.
We are not listing most of these IP addresses to avoid false positives with your legitimeate users. Please identify and remove this spammer’s account(s).
