Spam Forged as Me
For the past three weeks my work email box has been deluged with spam
bounces. Not spam, but bounces of spam allegedly sent by me. It’s
obnoxious to filter. And I worry that someone thinks my company is
actually sending out these solicitations for Brazilian penis
enlargement pills. I’d guess a few thousand have been sent so far;
interestingly, I haven’t gotten a single reply from a human. I guess
everyone ignores spam.
This spambounce storm reminds me of when I was sendsys bombed back in 1993. Back then, a couple thousand unwelcome emails was a real problem. Now it’s a typical week.
