I have received 40+ today getting really annoyed with it now. My filters don’t block it as they come from different email address’s or from myself…..

I have recieved a mail like this. Thinking about sending them a piece of my mind! =o) I’ve found that copying a article from a random newsweb in Norway - IN NORWEGIAN (he-he..) it will cause them to scratch their head for a minute or two.

Merry christmas!

today I have recieved a total of 84 emails for exactly the same,

84 - that must be a record!!! 84! Now that’s what I call Head-hunting!!! BM

I got same Email as described but never reply to them. But what is so disturbing is the fact our emails end up in all sorts of places. In this day of electronics we have to be very cautious.

I’ve received this several times a day for the past couple of weeks, always sent to me from me:

I keep getting these as well, and the bounces.

For anyone like Erika who is getting the bounces then it is 99.9% likely that it is just a Joe Jobs - they put your address as the “reply to”, because there is nothing stopping them doing it, and the other end was stupid enough to reject it with a new bounce instead of a rejected code.

Things like SPF records *should* solve the Joe Jobs problem because it’d show it wasn’t sent by an authorised server and should be dropped but a) people don’t set up SPF records, b) a good number of those who do set up a “soft fail”, which is about as useful as having nothing set up, and c) lots of people don’t check them on the in-bound.

As for the “your own address in the from line”, SPF records should resolve that for a lot of spam. Unfortunately, for this spam then the spammer is setting a “return path”, which is checked in preference to the “to” line (because it lets the system handle forwarding/”on behalf of” emails properly) and so it *looks* like it comes from you, but systems like SPF won’t fail it because they see it as coming from someone else.

Why can’t W3C and co set up a new response code in HTTP and SMTP along the lines of “601 DieSpammerDie” that self-destructs and spam bots? neat idea ! BM
