A public notice about email
To: Everyone on the entire internet
If you receive, in your email, a virus from [anything]@kryogenix.org, I didn’t send it. If you receive an email addressed to someone at your firm who no longer works there from [anything]@kryogenix.org, I didn’t send it. If you receive an email from [anything]@kryogenix.org and you feel the need to send an automated, computer-generated bounce message, then I didn’t send it.
Please stop sending me “informative” bounce messages.
Thank you.
okay… would you please send me an e-mail to remind me your notice? :p

I’d be curious about more details, if there is a virus on your mail server and it’s running *nix. Not because, I’m a *nix basher, but because I use *nix at home and security issues might indirectly affect me.

Joe: no. This is spammers who are sending out virus-laden emails and faking the address so it looks like it comes from something@kryogenix.org, so I get all the bounce messages and they don’t. I’m not sending any viruses; don’t worry about the safety of your Unix box.

What can you do about this sort of spam where they use fake addresses?
Could your domain name be blacklisted and how can you reverse it if it has been?
I had this on one of my domain names and I just decided to stop receiving the emails from it.
