I believe this particular setup is using a script to check the
classifieds for updates, then mails a standard scam message to any new
poster via the button on the page. Just a variation on the same old
thing.
As an aside, most folks would probably find the number of attacks on an
Internet server rather astounding. Between straight hacks, spam, and
malicious use of the website, the number is in the thousands, often
tens of thousands, every day. I highly recommend a separate router
with firewall to anyone connecting to the net.
