[Cialug] Notifications: SPAM Blocked

[Tim Wilson]

I just love having bounced e-mails I didn't send.  Spammers are using my
domain to send spam, and when it bounces, it comes back to me.  Yippee.  I
get to sift through 1000+ messages when they decide to use my domain to send
another bunch of spam, and then 20+ a day for a few weeks thereafter.  And
that's after I've rejected mail to some addresses in my domain.

I'm just glad we (the LUG) have finally masked e-mail addresses in the
archives.  Still, I get on average 50 spam e-mails a day sent to the address
I only use for the LUG.  Silly spam-bots were farming our addresses.

Maybe we should have an e-mail-fest.  I'm sure there are things I'm doing
that aren't correct that others could shed light on, and there's good things
I'm doing that others didn't think of.  If we could get together and share
our ideas, I think it would be very productive.
