Spammers are spoofing my email address!! Blech!!!

I started getting thousands of obviously spammy emails "bounced" back to my inbox - all with my address in the From: line.

Here's what is happening...

A low-life spammer sends SPAM emails to thousands of people. They enter someone else's address to the From: field of the email because they (obviously) don't want the spam tracked back to them. When the email bounces, it comes to the spoofed person's address. In this case, me. :-( Then there are the cases where the SPAM goes through, and someone gets it in their inbox. This is even worse because they think I sent them the SPAM email!

So if you're getting SPAM that looks like it is from me, it is NOT! I promise.

Spoofing is a pretty common problem, but it still sucks. And sadly, there is little that can be done about it.
