[ILUG] Why these spam messages?

[ILUG] Why these spam messages?

Timothy Murphy gayleard at eircom.net

Why do I get endless spam messages about "Eircom web-mail",
requesting my password?

Presumably the address to which I am meant to reply is false,
in which case it is not clear to me what the sender gets out of it.
If it is a true address, I assume Eircom must know of it,
in which case I would expect them to do something about it.

I'm rather surprised that SpamAssassin does not appear to recognize
these messages as spam.
