Maybe. Maybe it's being used as a proxy.
Waste of time without a Court Order.

To test a new piece of software designed to help with (among
other things) eCommerce WWW site development. The software is
fairly easy to use but you must fit a profile. Retail price is
120 GBP and I'll email full releases to anyone who helps FOC of
course:

I'm looking for someone who fits a profile -

You must be willing to spend some time with the software and
report back as a matter of urgency.

You must have simple back end programming skills Perl PHP etc
(HTML/JAVA won't cut it) but you don't need to be a Guru. This
is back end software not web page design stuff. If you can
patch osCommerce your can probably do this.

You could be developing on Win32 or Linux platforms. You dont
need to be a professional programmer but - You should be able
to point me at at least 1 web site you developed personally so
I can see what sort of things you do.

Please list briefly the languages you use and hardware/OS. I
DONT want your CV or life story !

You must have executable access on your server. EG. You
should be able to use PHP exec() function or similar for your
language.

You don't need to be a genius - just be able to reply by
email asap on your findings and opinions on the current state
of play. The software may be used by you commercially in

I expect most people wouldn't need to spend more than a couple

Thanks - john
Just want to get this spammer's (or worse) headers into the
Archives.
You'd be nuts to mail him. And insane to install his software.
The fact that he actually thinks anyone will trust someone who
is behaving with the evasiveness of troll/spammer/cyberstalker
indicates that _he_ has a few loose screws.
Looks like a complete con job. 'His' software is probably some
malicious program he downloaded from a windows' script kitty site
that's written to trash Linux boxes.
We do have that "flatfish++" (AKA you-name-it) anti-linux punk
posting here all the time.
Don't touch that software unless the source code is available on
a web or ftp site. Full open source.
Alan
