    Autoresponder program 
    http://meepzor.com/packages/autoresponder/ 
    
    could be tricked by spamers to send unsolicited mail to victim's address if option reply with copy of original message attached to response is enabled in autoresponder's configuration. Program does not have any sort of restriction on number of responses to one email address during any period of time. 
    
    In fact if reply with copy of original message is enabled, then spam message with 
    From: victim's address or Reply to: victim's address sent to autoresponding address will be delivered to victim's mail box including copy of original spam in attachement. 
    
    
    Also, it is possible to trick autoresponder to abuse victim's email address by sending large number of messages to address with autoresponder enabled on it, since there is no limit on number of messages delivered to single mail box during some period of time. 
    
    I could not get in contact with developer of this program despite we have sent warning to webmaster of web site hosting web page of autoresponder.
