Anyone else ever had this? No, although with my various mail filters it is just about possible I wouldn't even notice ;-) Been discussed a bit on demon.service, and I think u.c.o.l, seems some spammers is doing short runs mainly (or maybe it is how they do the bounce?) at AOLers using other people's sender addresses. Some of the Demon ones use four random characters on the end of the first part of the email name... i.e. they send as "SimonXASD@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" instead of "Simon@" Most cases reported recently the volume was small, so hopefully it'll stop soon. I'd take the view it was AOL's problem, unless you're spoiling to track down and sue a spammer. Interesting Microsoft are allegedly sueing spammers, so I hope they get the bastard at Microsoft trying to sell mapping software (in French) to subscribers of bug-gnu-chess ;-) I assume in these days of large multinationals one part of a company sueing another part of the same company must have happened already - probably before anyone noticed they work for the same company... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/DW5wGFXfHI9FVgYRAtsvAKCGkjO0PQAfsWp11hH0Cwwgv/UsWACfU7V6 u8lK0AGBtT2KB4B9flHHJXM= =gqAG -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
