Hello Ken, He's an update. I checked with my hosting company Textdrive. They, as many who replied on this list, said that there was not much I could do about the spoofed e-mails.
What I did (and this is not necessarily the solution) was to access my e-mail through the Webmail interface on the Textdrive server. I would delete any e-mail that was suspicious. Then I would download the e-mails using the Outlook client. Over the course of a few weeks, the number of 'spoofed' e-mails declined to the point that I now get only one or two a day. I suspect what really happened is that the bot got discovered and was deleted off the sending server or it was just not any more fun for the perpetrator. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kenneth Kixmoeller/fh Sent: Monday, January 22, 2007 8:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NF] eMail flood on my server On Jan 22, 2007, at 5:41 PM, Kenneth Kixmoeller/fh wrote: > I think the situation was some spammer spoofed *his* domain as the > one originating the posts, OK, I finally found it, but it was Alan Lukachko, not Michael. (Fortunately MB responded a few times in the thread, so I found it.) http://leafe.com/archives/showFullThd/324871#0 It looks like there just isn't any solution. I just hope the flood slows to a trickle. <expletive deleted> Ken [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
