HOW TO FUCK UP A NON-MODERATED MAILING LIST ------------------------------------------- DeadSock July 11, 1998 This information is provided for educational purpose. This action is lame as hell. I take no responsibility of what you done after reading this text file. It is just a theory and I havent tried it. And sorry for my poor English. Lets cut the crap!!! At first you have to find any non-moderated mailing list that you want to fuck up. For all wannabe hackers, non-moderated means that the admin doesnt interrupt your posting for checking. It means, you send email to the mailing list, and your email is automatically sent to all other mailing list members. Ok, lets say your target mailing list run ezmlm, to subscribe you need to send a blank email to: target-subscribe@mailinglist.com to post you send the message to: target@mailinglist.com and no, you dont need to unsubscribe after you fucked it up :) Oh yeah forgot to tell you, you need a POP3 email account to do this. You can register free one at: http://www.geocities.com/ After you have the POP3, do this: 1. Register a free email forwarder that have auto responder feature. You can try this one: http://www.myownemail.com/ Then set the forwarder to your POP3 account, say it is lamer@geocities.com (btw, pick another better name for your POP3, it is just an example). Now you have 2 email address, one is lamer@myownemail.com and the other is lamer@geocities.com. Which all of the email sent to lamer@myownemail.com will be forwarded to lamer@geocities.com. 2. Now, subscribe the mailing list. Launch up your email client, and change the 'From:' section to lamer@myownemail.com. If your SMTP server doesnt allow you to change it, change your SMTP server to mail.geocities.com. Then send it to: target-subscribe@mailinglist.com The targer mailing list will send a conformation email to lamer@myownemail.com, and myownemail.com will forward it to lamer@geocities.com. So you have to retrieve the confirmation email from geocities POP server now. 3. Follow the instruction in the confirmation email. Usually it will ask you to reply the letter. Just reply the letter, but dont forget the that in the 'From:' section must be always lamer@myownemail.com. After you reply the confirmation email usually you will get the welcome email. It means now you are the member of the mailing list. 4. Launch you web browser again. Go to http://www.myownemail.com/ and change the forwarder to target@mailinglist.com, now all the mail sent to lamer@myownemail.com will be forwarded to target@mailinglist.com. Then turn on the autoreponder, write some shit as the autoresponder message. 5. Send about 5 emails to lamer@myownemail.com, but this time change the 'From:' section to target@mailinglist.com. The message in the emails is up to you. 6. Your account at lamer@myownemail.com receive 5 emails that you sent. Then it will forward 5 emails to target@mailinglist.com. Because you turned on the autoresponder, it also will reply with 5 emails sent to target@mailinglis.com (thats why I told you to change the 'From:' section in number 5). 7. The target@mailinglist.com received 10 emails from lamer@myownemail.com. It will send the 10 emails to all of its members, including lamer@myownemail.com. 8. Then lamer@myownemail.com will receive 10 emails from target@mailinglist.com. It will forward these 10 emails again to the target@mailinglist.com and will send again 10 autoresponder message to the target@mailinglist.com. 9. The mailing list now received 20 emails from lamer@myownemail.com and ready to send it again to all its members. This will loop forever with more and more emails, until the admin unsubscribe lamer@myownemail.com. EOF
