This is as days pass by, by Stuart Langridge

And this is A public notice about email, written , and concerning Rants

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.

Really, oh, and I was soo looking forward to purchasing those herbal viagra pills from you :)

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.

Heh – I blogged about this back in July 2004

I’ll see your 2004 and raise you a June 2003 :-)

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.
