Phil’s Diary - [Blog @ http://www.philsdiary.net/]
My Spam has changed of late. My email spam is now made up of about 50% normal spam, and 50% mail delivery failures. Nope, I didn’t send the email. And it didn’t come from my server either. But some annoying spammer has decided to use an email address based on my domain names. So I get lots of bouncebacks, usually from spam filters, non-existent addresses and full mailboxes. What fun!
Spam comment postings to here have changed now too. Instead of them being directed at months old posts as they used to be, now they’re straight to brand shiny new posts instead.
They still don’t get through though, they’re all moderated away.
I wish we could all start again with email and come up with a solution that stopped spamming, cause it does my head in. I hate the stuff.

Those delivery-failures and 'policy violation' notices are not all genuin.
I got some policy violation notices send to myself and apparently comming from my own domain. After a chat with my hosting company I know they don't ever send 'policy violation' on mail. So it was actually a spammer probably just trying to fish out valid mail addresses by sending something most preople will react to.
