Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.

SPAMMERs suck. That goes without saying.

However, every six months or so I get a swarm of bounce messages because some fucking SPAMMERs out there use my domain name to spoof their identities. So for a couple of days I get all the crap and I can't do much about it, just delete -- delete -- delete.

But every once in a while some idiot sends me an email demanding that I stop SPAMMING them. They just hit the respond button assuming that it will somehow go to the right person. But when they threaten me it's particularly stupid.

For example this lovely little threat from ail@alphavisions.com:

You are using this mailbox ILLEGALLY. Your IP and use of this email is being tracked. You will be persecuted to the fullest extent of the law if you continue using this email ILLEGALLY. You have been warned. That is all the legal notice I need to give you to persecute you for use of this email to the fullest extent of the law - yes, that means I will come after your assets - that means your MONEY.

Isn't that cute?

I actually did send a response letting them know the depth of their idiocy, but I kind of hope they try anyway. It would be kind of fun to stand in a courtroom and be able to say "Nope, I had nothing to do with it."

random, spam
