I saw three or four of them in a group in Brisbane once. It was part of some kind of advertising campaign for potato chips. They were riding around handing out free samples.
A legitimate email from Citibank contains something like 6 distinct domain names and a dozen or more hostnames for all the bits of image, URL, hosts the email traversed, etc. You cannot verify the legitimacy by "understanding DNS".
Here's what I see in my most recent "bank alert" from Citibank (legitimate message telling me of a recent paycheck deposit):
It used to be a lot worse. This has fewer domains that I remember. I recall there was also a citibank.net (I think) scam when someone registered that it Italy several years ago.
I like LibraryThing too. I've entered close to 900 of approximately 2000-3000 books so far. It's slow and dusty work. Many of my older books don't have ISBN, and I don't have a scanner.
Yeah, this brings back memories. Funny thing is I was trying to port CCMD and MM to RedHat this week.
They were RP06 drives, by the way. I still have a couple of platters from an old pack. They had smaller RA81 and RA82 removable packs on the VAXen.

We have two copies of Gorin at home. I think I still have a JSYS manual too. :-)

Looks like the SIMTEL20 archives live on at http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/.
