 E-MAIL FROM THE GEORGEWBUSH.ORG "CATCH-ALL" MAILBOX
OCTOBER, 2004: Recently, we at GeorgeWBush.org happened to notice that our 
mail server had a default "catch-all" mailbox, which for the past several 
months had been quietly gathering any and all e-mails addressed to 
[INSERT-ANYTHING-HERE]@georgewbush.org. We felt the need to share.

PLEASE NOTE: Full e-mail headers have not been included on all e-mails below 
purely for the sake of readability. In response to requests however, sample 
headers have been added here and here and here and here.

10.26.2004: Readers may be interested to learn that the "caging" e-mails 
below (one and two) are indeed the same documents referenced in Greg 
Palast's latest BBC Newsnight investigation. We sent them to him last week 
prior to assembling this page.
