it would seem that some

July 10, 2002

it would seem that some evil people have been misusing and abusing my email server. i find this out by replying to some spam with a 'remove me' message.

heaven knows i dont send out any spam - and im currently the only one with emails on this server, so i cant blame anyone specifically. so someone is just using my server to send spam.

ive had an inkling this was happening... ive gotten 2 or three 'mailer-daemon' emails saying one of my emails couldnt be delivered because of and incorrect address.

only, the original email was not something i had sent. or created.

ive gottn a few pieces of spam because of having my address on this site - and thats to be expected, i suppose. but to be using me and my server to send spam??

that is just plain mean.

i think ive heard of it before. has this happened to anyone else? is there something i can do about it, besides changing my domain?
