I know I'm probably being petty and unreasonable but there we are. A
couple of events have really annoyed me.
Firstly, I politely asked a company to stop sending emails to an address.
They said the couldn't and I think they quoted the data protection act.
They said I had to do it myself on their website. Hmmm, was that true?
The second event was a company that sent me several emails on the same day
to an address that only appears as a contact address on my website. I
wondered if I could persuade them to stop. As I don't want the website
email address to be repeated here, I've used xxxx(_at_)example(_dot_)com in the
recipe below.
I've attempted to target specific people at the company concerned to annoy
them with their own email spew. devnull(_at_)clifford(_dot_)ac is rejected by
sendmail so hopefully no mail loop. And I tagged my gmail address I use
for testing onto the the list of recipients so I could see what I was
sending out.
Any problems/dangers?
