I've been getting the same thing suddenly. Really weird. I googled the email address it supposed came from and the addy is everywhere.

The email addresses were all bogus -- all ended with "@katrinamessenger.com". And since it was emailed from the program on my site and not from the spammer, there is no way to track it.

I will check in with Drupal to see if I can have it grab the IP address of the person filling in the form.

That was what it looked like too -- but when I expanded the headers, I saw this AOL address in there too.

IPs ? clearviewmom February 15 2006, 22:01:26 UTC

Can you log the IP address of whoever sends stuff to you? Are the numbers underneath the quotes in hex? If they are in hex they may mean something.

Sometimes when I look at the source on pishing emails they try to disguise the IP they are sending you to by writing it in hex.

Ok so I'm twisted enough to look at the source of phshing emails, but we knew that ;>)

I'm still trying to remember how one converts the four sections seperated by dots form of IPs into a whole number. Someone mentioned

On another tangent that occured to me. Does this meaning of hex have anything to do with the saying that goes something like "if you can not hex, you can not heal" ?

IPv6 addresses clearviewmom February 16 2006, 20:01:00 UTC

Those 32 character hexadecimal numbers got me thinking. The are the right size to be IPv6 IP addresses. You should not be able to see Ipv6 addresses on an IPv4 network. Most IPv6 addresses are still unassigned.

I asked boots about it and he got curious about it and looked to see what he could find out about traceing IPv6 addresses and who owns them.

As a weird bit of trivia, did you know that all the v6 addresses that begin with a 2 belong to the IRS? Does that mean each tax paying thing will have it's own IP as far as the IRS is concerned. Who knows maybe we already have them. SSN# are not unique so I guess that the had to use something. All the 32 character hexidecimal numbers that begin with 2 is a very big number. Bigger than I can wrap my head around.

Hi!

I do not think they are IP addresses. When I return from the workshop, I will see if I can turn on logging of IP addresses.

See ya tomorrow!
