Acctualy, he states that Aeria Games is takeing action, when in realty it would be SonoV who would have to, i don't even think the Email MENTIONS them..

~~kalle801~~ · 02/07/2011, 03:04

READ THIS:

Firstly, fair to say this isnt' from AeriaGames.
Secondly, Danco mentioned there were a group of hackers looking to take out servers, it is possible someone has gotten into his server and sent an email from it but who really thinks that thoroughly? Which shows it is very possible that kalle801 is lying, as for me... i'm just going to sit back and watch, i'm not developing for a server anymore, so I don't have anything to worry about regardless, but I can say that I would have been scared to have this email because whether it's AeriaGames or not, someone is looking to shut you down.

That someone will get caught, i could do a tracer on that email and find out exactly who sent it...but that's hacking

removed cause of swearing

It's not necessarily from kalle801, only from his server. Someone could be using his mail relay to send out emails.

That is common among spammers, they send mail from other people's mail servers so they don't get caught.

That's actually pretty clever if that's what they did.

You can check if your server's mail relay is secure from this exploit on this web site:

That's what i ment EC see if the mail was realy from him by using a tracer.

First sign was Exclusive was misspelled in (the "Exlusive Territory") and it is a exact copy word for word to the one Possum posted when he shut down EVO. Even down to the Spelling Error.
apparently this e-mail has been copied from the letter Possum said he received.

I hate to sound conspirecy theroy but what if whoever did this wanted us to get in a group like this?

what if they were even paied by AGE??

This is all getting real weird..

The only reason I can think of is to play the servers against each other, but maybe that is getting too close to wearing a tinfoil hat.

Here is my take on this, I could be completely wrong though.

The origin of the email is known, it is kalle801 server's IP address.

That leaves two options: kalle801 sent it, or someone else took advantage of his open mail server.

However kalle801 knew about open mail relays almost immediately, and blamed the problem on them. That most likely means he also knew how to spoof email headers, but it is not conclusive proof of such doing.

He also posted a link to

which is not one of the top search results for an open mail relay in any web search engine that I tested. It could be that I am not searching from a German IP address, so my search results are different.

Overall it would seem that he is guilty, but in this case it is not provable.

Regardless, it is clearly NOT a genuine email from AeriaGames.

as far as i can tell the email is not genuine.

1. an email that is sent regrading copyright infringment is not sent by the copyright holder but rather there attorney.

2. secondly is the IP address and the general lack of format

3. at some point with in the letter it would have had to state Sonov or Choi Rock Games clearly as AGE is only a lease holder to the game and own no rights to it whatsoever

4. I feel left out i didnt receive one

Totally agree. I really hate when people play dumb.
