I’m not spamming you, I swear
Jed | October 19, 2007If you’ve come to this website to yell and scream and tell me to stop spamming you, I really apologize, but it’s not me that’s spamming you.
I’ve started receiving tons of “Undelivered mail returned to sender” messages, indicating that someone is spoofing email addresses at jedfonner.com to send massive amounts of spam. I do really apologize that you’re getting spam, but believe me I have nothing to do with it and, worst of all, I can’t do anything to stop it except complain to the ISPs of the actual email senders, if I can determine that info.
As this site on spamming and email spoofing indicates, “It is possible to send a message that appears to be from anyone, anywhere, saying whatever the sender wants it to say. Thus, someone could send spoofed e-mail that appears to be from you with a message that you didn’t write.”
Feel free to leave a comment if you’ve been hit by spam from a jedfonner.com email address or have good suggestions for tracking down the real culprits besides what’s already on the CERT site.
