e-mail problems and warning
[email protected]
For half an hour Thursday morning my account was turned off. That's a big
drag for me, as quite a bit of mail can bounce in that much time. Please, if
you send me something and it bounced, send it again.
An evil e-mailing program used my address last night to send out over 900
copies of an e-mail called "please do this."
I hope you didn't get one.
If you got one, I'm sorry; I hope you didn't open it. It's a website
claiming to be about t-shirts, but it's just an e-mail collecting thing. If you
haven't opened that e-mail, GOOD. Just delete it. I didn't send it but it
surely clearly LOOKS like it did, because that's something their ugly program
can do.
If you opened it and didn't go to the webpage, GOOD. Then it's not likely
to happen to you.
I'm sorry for the trouble, but when people DO get that "please do this" it
never really comes from the person it seems to have come from (which seems to be
always someone whose e-mail that person recognizes). There ought to be a
law. <g>
