Spam, analysis thereof Post Reply with Quote Edit/Delete Post Report Post to a Moderator        IP Information Go to the top of this page

One of the joys of having our own domain name, and the hosting service we found, is that we can have as many incoming emails as we like.

Wanting to know where the spam comes from, we started giving unique ones to the legit places, like store discount programs and site memberships. NONE of the spam comes from those emails. Not a shred!

Some comes to admin@onebit. Domains used to all have an admin account.

I use cricket@onebit.ca for social groups. As expected, there's tons of spam.

But the really annoying part is that there's an equal amount of spam in the account I only give out to real life friends. So most of the spam is coming from compromised machines, with nasties happily harvesting the names of all their friends.

Really, really looking forward to the replacement for POP3, if they ever agree on it!

If you can try using and RBL server. They will help cut down the problem. If your email appears on a website or forum it will be picked up by a spammer bot and spammed.

I thought Spam WAS lunch meat.

Mind you school kids had to eat spam for breakfast, lunch and tea in the 50s in private schools.

Bluck!!!!! Good thing I didn't live back then. I don't think I would have been able to handle it everyday. Let alone what little I have ever ate it.

I also like Will Smith (not the same way as you of course) but imagine a Pink Elephant fleet comes to earth. It will be Will Smith who pokes the Spectre Captain.
