"bolus of spam" I love it.

Joe-jobbed? Yeah, that sucks.

If the NSA can spy on us honest folk, how come they ignore these creeps? Death to cyber-terrarists! Texans are soft on white collar crime. Grrrrr. Snarl. Grrrr.

Of course, it's stupid to wish the feds would do anything. They're so incompetent that Capn would probably end up eating a Hellfire from a Predator.

Say, Capn, has Agent 004 recieved the super secret conspiratorial communication yet? Not that I'd know anything about this, mind you...

The only cure for joejobbing needs to be implemented everywhere (to work). SPF: A Sender Policy Framework to Prevent Email Forgery.

And it just might be if some clever bastard makes a sendmail milter that actually works.*

But yes indeed, death to spammers. It's been bad these past two weeks, I think I won the lotteries of Canada, Ireland and UK on average ten times a day, and had businesss proposals to pretend being the only living kin of a planecrash victim twenty times a day... with a sprinkle of emails from "Doctor" and those who sell software on top.

Usually, my blacklists prevent all that. Dunno what the hell happened.

That sucks, Capn... the same thing started happening to me around Xmas, and now comes and goes with a pretty predictable pattern- one day I'll get 50 or 60 bounced messages, then several days of just four or five per day. Still, it really sucks, esp. seeing my domanin name attached to all these cheesy stock scams.

seriously, you need to ask your providers to implement SPF on your domains. now.
