I have a couple of domains set up with catch-all email forwarding; occasionally for about a couple of weeks one or other domain receives spam messages addressed to (or bounces to messages spoofed to be "from") random names at the domain, then it stops and doesn't happen again for months or years. > If just one of your correspondents > is infected by a virus that harvests their addressbook > or their mail folders, you've lost the battle. For a couple of weeks until the spammer moves onto a new set of email addresses. But, just maybe, it becomes an ongoing problem and makes the address unuseable. In that case, somebody who uses a unique email address to correspond with each contact simply tells that contact a new address and retires the old one. - -- Best regards MFPA mailto:[email protected] Confusion is always the most honest response -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iPQEAQEKAF4FAlNf7OVXFIAAAAAALgAgaXNzdWVyLWZwckBub3RhdGlvbnMub3Bl bnBncC5maWZ0aGhvcnNlbWFuLm5ldEJBMjM5QjQ2ODFGMUVGOTUxOEU2QkQ0NjQ0 N0VDQTAzAAoJEKipC46tDG5pRhoEALkc01i9Ssiu5til0n53MGG/UFuEz0fovMss 2XcW9fWpyxnuRUAAgqed2QNEiSjX3VIB+ivDsS6g0m0xsWdURHA7GPuSYJmkvnlC pTuT25EUqPOXaYcoNZWAig+UjdD/sDEg0GZn1C1ASby5pn/hYb/54T63pBJEnWJR 5DbVLg0x =wD/x -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
