Microsofts Moore likens PS3 to Dreamcast - Xbox 360 Fanboy

This Just In - Autoresponders Don’t Work!

So some smart spammer decided to fake an email address in my domain to send out their spam. By now, you’d think that most mail admins would have figured this out, so sending an email back to me to tell me about the spam would be useless.

Think again.

In just this morning, I’ve received over 750 messages back from mail servers about this spam, everything ranging from "I’m sorry, we can’t deliver this message right now" to "Hey, jackass, stop spamming me!" Of course, even a mildly-retarded mail admin who’s been on Mars the past five years in a cave with his eyes shut and his fingers stuck in his ears would know I had nothing to do with this.

I have a filter to send these messages straight to the trash, so it really doesn’t affect me that much. Still, it boggles the mind to think that so many electrons are being wasted.

Repeat after me, kids - responding to a spammer doesn’t work!
