Right, so I’ll just phone this Nigerian man up and give him my bank details. I just hope it’s not a scam like those emails from Nigerian royalty who claim to have large amounts of money for me…

The deluge has stopped

January 16th, 2005 | No Comments | Filed in Uncategorized

I finally decided to do something about the excessive amounts of “Undelivered message: see transcript for details” mails I keep getting to random usernames on my domain.

Did I go on a mad rampage and cut the spammer population of this planet?

Unfortunately, no. I did write a procmail filter though to send all the mailer-daemon messages to anywhere but my GMail account.

First I logged them to a file. Within five minutes of the filter being active I had 104k of unwanted mail!

This is now going to be redirected to /dev/null… bye bye rubbish.

Weird spam of the day

February 27th, 2004 | No Comments | Filed in Personal

Comes from a Mr “Slather U. Sphincters” and his sister “Peggy L. Sticking”.

Why… why… why so much spam? Would you try and buy something off someone who advertises “Vi-a-gra” and other mis-spellings?

There’s times when I wish the “delete” button would remove the person who sent me the email :-/
