I just wanted to point out that, just like the last time I was
publicly involved in anti-spamming activities, I'm again seeing that
messages are going out with my address in the From: field and
wondered if others are experiencing the same.
The last go-round I had to clear out a few hundred-thousand bounces
and then deal with the people who thought I was actually the source
of the mail. I hope this isn't the start of something yet again.
In this example, the message below was a porno ad with some nasty
embedded images, sent to a non-existent address and then "returned"
to me.
