Email forwarding from Firefox

I just signed up for a Firefox account. They have a new feature, email forwarding. You create an account, and then can create an address to use as a disposable address. IF that address gets abused, you can deactivate it. Check out Firefox Relay. I wonder if spammers are still scraping the web looking for […]

Reach Marketing Spam

I have started receiving email spam from a company called “Reach Marketing” via a product known as ReachBase. I wonder why they think it is ok to send out spam on behalf of other companies? If a person did not opt-in to getting marketing messages, that means you don’t send that person your marketing message. […]

No Advertising on PlanetMike.com

What the heck is wrong with the idiots out there that may think I want to run advertising on this web site? Do you see any advertising on the site already? I realize they’re just sending spam, and are just mass-mailing everyone online in the hopes of getting their drivel out there. But geesh, people […]

Domains to Block on August 29, 2011

Blankers Spam Network

I have been doing some research into the new spam network I mentioned last Thursday. Below is a list of all of the “From: ” lines in the messages. This is 97 messages, with 56 domain names. If you go to the domain name mentioned in one of those email addresses, you get a blank […]

New Spam Network?

Since April 13th, I’ve been getting three to five spam messages a day that are slipping past my Postfix and SpamAssassin filters. The messages include a lot of text copied verbatim, sans links, from online discussion forums. The messages are not CAN-SPAM compliant in that there is not a mailing address in the messages. Websites […]
