Re: Match.com contact - Previously: GMail contact - misroute / security issue
Set up a filter in the GMAIL console to match (pun intended) the "Match" emails and filter them into their own label. Then, hide that label. Don't delete them though. You might have a gold mine there. Think of the comedic relief you could provide others with " www.My-wife-keeps-getting-sent-pics-of-some-guys-tiny.org" You could post the emails, the profile names of the pervs, etc. Sort of like a 20/20 "To catch a..." only instead of predator, it would be perv. -- John Fraizer ΥΣΜΧ
Match.com contact - Previously: GMail contact - misroute / security issue
On 9/28/14, 10:42 PM, Grant Taylor wrote: My wife is receiving someone else's emails. Okay ... so someone is sending to the incorrect email address that is a variant of my wife's GMail address. The real annoying part is that someone used my wife's email address (sans dots) as their email address on Match.com. So my wife is now receiving all the notifications that are meant to go to that other person. Specifically she is receiving emails for @gmail.com (no dots) when her email address is really ..@gmail.com (dots). I don't know if this is a "feature" or a "bug", but either way, it's disquieting my wife. (Unhappy wife = unhappy life.) *sigh* So this is a non-RFC compliant ""feature. *headshake* Does anyone have any Match.com contacts? I'll try going that route to get the messages stopped. (Including emailing postmaster@ and abuse@ to see if they can help.) Please reply or email me directly at gtaylor (at) tnetconsulting (dot) net for additional details. Thank you and have a nice day. -- Grant. . . . unix || die
