The Blacklist

[mishalak]

Okay I'm now blocking all email from
microsoft.com
freemail.net
freemail.com
america.net
america.com
netmail.net
netmail.com
puremail.net
puremail.com
aol.net (not .com)

I am considering adding bigfoot.net and .com and rocketmail

I doubt this affects any real people, but let me know if this is otherwise.

The sheer size of this mess is...staggering

There is some virus going around that is forging addresses from these places. Since I've never seen a real person send me anything from them I think the simplest solution is just to block the junk totally.

I know at least one real person at america.net, but I'm more likely to talk with him on #filkhaven than in email.

Since the deluge continues I'm now considering just killing off my chernobog email and replacing it with something like twitch at mishalak.com

s/not/now in the first line?

[mishalak.livejournal.com]

It should have been a now, thanks.

I'm actually glad I have Yahoo - it's been automatically sending all such garbage to the "junk mail" folder, which I can delete without even opening. I was worrying that I was somehow being targeted, so I'm half-relieved to see that it's not just me. :/ Feh.

And of course...

Swen exploits a two-year old hole in IE :) That and good old open relays are making this one possible :( . Work should be fun tomorrow night (NOT!)
