I have a catchall on barker.dropbear.id.au; I'm getting /lots/ of these
bastards.

What's this thing doing?

 - changing the "social engineering" text
 - changing the "to" line (trying common names @domain.name?)
 - forging the from line (I received a seemingly-real bounce message)

I can't see any conveniently common string in the non-binary parts of the
message.

There appear to be at least two different payloads, so at least two
strings to try to match in the attachments.

I'm thinking about matching strings in the attachment. That's about the
best I've come up with.
