Bingo. The last ISP I worked ofr had a number of them. icstech
(techies only), icsmarket (marketing), icsadmin (take a wild guess), a
few others and just plain ics, which would forward e-mail to everyone
in the company. It's a standard feature on MS User Manager. You just
have to format the lists....it's actually very similar to the list
that you're getting this from. All that the hacker had to do was find
out what the email address was (ics@***************.net) and forward
it along. ....and I might mention that this addresses aren't that
hard to get ahold of. We regularly sent out emails telling them to
send your technical complaints to icstech@*************.net
(which meant that I had a bunch of extra mails waiting every
time.....kinda like being on this list.)
