Stirling Westrup: Spambot.
Feb. 27th, 2007 03:09 pmIts bad enough that for the last few weeks someone (or several someones) have been sending out spam using random strings @sti.pooq.com as the return address. So, now I get dozens of spam email bounces per day. What's worse is that I just Googled for my name, and discovered it showing up in random text generated by various spam engines. So, now the first contact many folks will have with my name will be in random spam garbage. Even worse, their baysian filters may decided that 'Stirling Westrup' is a good unique string that indicates spam...
