....some time ago when setup on ebay and paypal we received a legitimate email implying from and/or approved by paypal so to speak from a paypal email address and server and it was a essentially UCE spam.

I checked the headers and doing a traceroute took me straight to the InfoUSA gateway...

Doing a dig or two forward and reverse revealed *proper* dns forward and reverse for the paypal.com aliased smtp server inside the infousa ip network.

The proper forward and reverse dns alone implies some type of agreement and consent between those orgs to any knowledgeable internetwork admin that ive ever met.

Imagine that boys and girls.

Deception, money, and power talk eh?

Tif I remember correctly, there was essentially no comment from paypal regarding it being real or a phish.
