The drawbacks of domain ownership…

For anyone reading this that’s got a fuzzyduck.org email address off me at any point in the past, I have no idea how, who or why viruses are going out (again) “from” information@, info@ and register@ warning people that their account is going to expire, they’ve been caught abusing hte account, etc.

All, of course, complete bollocks, if I’m going to delete your email address, I’ll tell you personally, and (given that I have an infinite number of them), it’s not likely to happen any time soon to anyone. Thanks to for informing me of the problem, Jo Foster (who I hadn’t heard of in years) also had the same thing; , you had anything?

They’ve been sent ‘to’ various other non-existent accounts as well, so much so that my abuse account is full in less than a month, it hasn’t done that since mydoom/netsky first broke out. Ah well.

OTOH, if anyone out there in LJ land wants a free, permanent (well, for as long as I renew the domain and Doteasy don’t go bust) POP3 email inbox and anything’at’fuzzyduck.org email address, let me know; they’re going, um, free.

You just have to put up with occasional virus and spam sends; but, well, it’s an email account, that’s normal, right?

I’m supposed to be packing for Birmingham…

Edit: I’ve just been sent a warning that my account is due to be deleted by the admininistrator. Sent directly to the only inbox with administrator priviledges! There have also been sends to ‘bob’, ‘maria’ ‘geoff’ and a number of other people I’ve never heard of. Gah!
