FeedSDIAF (spammers die in a fire)
Tuesday, August 14 2007
Today this domain got used and inundated with spam. I am so pissed off about it. Header is from linuxchic and our twitter convo
I didn’t get much spam before but today from 11.00 - to now 15.30 - have received over 2,000 spam emails that bounced. Who knows how many actually went through?
Some did, cos people replied to it. 
Some basic re email in general;
*The FROM field is dead easy to change
*Never EVER reply to a spam email cos that just validates your email address.
*Hell, don’t even open or click on a spam email just delete it or if you are on gMail report it as spam.
Some of the emails I received are Out of Office replies. I am deleting those cos I don’t want to have every Out of Office classed as spam - some might actually be legit.
Vanquish is stopping the spam and asking me to confirm that the emails came from me … well I won’t since it is spam.
I got a few requests from Yahoo groups to confirm the sign up … not doing that either.
Well, as end of this post the spam count - oh the temptation - is now over 2,200

Well, thanks to gmail & its spam folder, it is easy to see how many spam is in that folder. It is no competition but the dream is to receive no spam
As for my English, guess it is a combination of being pissed off, in rush, and dyslectic … but have I have made some corrections

Oh you poor thing!! I wonder if you got some kind of virus that is using your computer as a spambot.
I’d just change your email addy. I started getting spam on a gmail account I have. the one I use for personal emails! not sure how that happened. But i get no spam on yahoo.com and very little on hotmail.
I hate spammers!!! they should all be shot.

[...] ‘Tis the week of Spam After a conversation with lizze on Twitter about spam and then reading the related blog post, we came up with SDIAF (spammers, die in a fire). This inspired me to play with Gimp, learn to make flames, and create an SDIAF button. Yeah, it is kinda silly, but we all need an outlet. =) Use it if you like, but please, don’t hotlink to the image, save it on your own disk space. [...]
