also, threadjacking, but its spam related... is anyone else getting a
lot of these "bounced email" spam? I'm getting a TON of it lately. It
all has a .zip or .com binary attachment, so obviously its a virus or
I've gotten a couple of such messages with the virus removed.
Follow it up. Complain to the bouncer that their SMTP is
misconfigured and they're sending bounce messages to innocent third
parties whose From: addresses were forged by spammers.
My experience has been that anyone clueless enough in 2006
to run a broken server (Barracuda appliance, Qmail...), that
sends backscatter to random addresses supplied by spammers
and malware, is too clueless to understand a complaint
about it. If you can even get a complaint through.
Look their domain up in whois -h whois.abuse.net.
postmaster (default, no info) every time. Send mail to
postmaster@domain and abuse@domain. User unknown, or
sorry, your spam report triggered our spam filter.
Not just clueless, clue resistant. Clue repellent.
Report them to RFC-Ignorant.org when that happens.
Then add them to your local DNSBL if you can get away with it.
Or your firewall.
