hughstimson.org Is Not Really Spamming You
Perhaps you have arrived at my humble site becuase you recieved an email from someone with a name like “Ninon K. Kirkpatrick” and an email address such as “[email protected]” advising you that “Naked teens attack home director.” or “A killer at 11, he’s free at 21 and kill again!”.
Don’t open those, they’re spam.
If you’ve gotten this far, you probably already knew that. However, In case you haven’t already decided, I assure you I didn’t send that email to you, nor did anyone else who uses my domain (there is nobody else). As far as I can tell, my machine did not send it to you — I’ve run virus checks, spyware checks, and maintain a closely monitored firewall. I’m pretty sure my box hasn’t been hijacked.
All that’s happening is that some spammer is using my domain name in the “sender” field of their emails, much as they are using your email address and domain in the “to” field.
When Jonathan came, he said, ‘We are fans of PostgresSQL and Open Source technologies.
I didn’t send that either. I wish I wrote that intriguingly.
Oddsmakers have the Heat listed as 9-point home faves against the Indiana Pacers tonight. That’s because I assigned a service principal name Ponzi put it on our wish list – but I really wish the machine did more.
So true.
If I do ever send spam to you (and I solemnly promise I never will), I will not use my real domain name.
In the meantime, there doesn’t seem to be any major issues for me at least, except the steady flow of undelivered mail – return to senders washing through my inbox. They come, they get flagged as spam, they go. It’s spamtastic. It’s a spam feedback loop. The internet takes spam, makes more spam, routes spam, deletes the spam. Spammy.
