Folks,
I recently did some research on the term Joe-Job and discovered some
ambiguity, or rather, a broader meaning than folks often assume:
Joe Jobbing is the unauthorized use of someone else's email address. It
has two major purposes. One is to redirect an expected mass of error
messages.
For clarity's sake, when I use the term "joe-job", the above is what I
mean. Maybe we should call it something different, like
"bounce-bombing", since "joe-job" is vague.
