EMAIL Hell - Footprints of a Supreme Spammer
Everyone who owns their own domain has probably been inundated with bounced EMAILs from bogus addresses. This is of course a typical spammer trick to avoid being discovered. By disguising the origin point, they make sure that the wrath of the user community falls on the poor stupid fool who purchased the spam service while the spammer himself pockets the money and melts into the night.
So, we're getting tons of EMAIL errors regarding mail sent by such stalwarts as qwdhtf@conservativecat.com or huhnknkjph@mkrules.net. One particular error message, however, gave us a bit of a chuckle:
Thank you for contacting the Supreme Court of Canada. Your e-mail has been received and someone will be attending to it.
Alas, I doubt the Canadian Supreme Court has enough time to worry about impotence drugs and hot stock tips. Now if only I had the original message, I could forward it to the SEC. I'm sure they'd know what to do with it.
Respectfully submitted,
Ferdinand T. Cat
