nlinecomputers Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 From about last Wednesday or Thursday I've had a doubling of the amount of spam I'm getting. Odd sudden jump that is adding about 200 e-mails a day to my usual load. Anyone else having this or is this just my bad karma?Wonder if our new virus has been put to work?

ibe98765 Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Yeah, I'm getting 100-150 additional mails per day over the last 2 weeks or so. The new ones look like bouncebacks (mainly from AOL) and are all variations on the theme of "mail delivery problem" or "returned mail: User unknown" stuff. All of these have my domain name at the end and some garbage name in front of the @ sign. Like this:Your mail to the following recipients could not be delivered because they are not accepting mail from: Tessjapphpuidmnb@mydomain.comThere doesn't seem to be any way to stop these. Have to just let them run there course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siebkens Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Haven't noticed a dramatic change recently. Receiving almost none at my hotmail account. Increasing slowly at my ISP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cluttermagnet Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 No significant spam or overall email changes here. I think I remember seeing, at most, about 4-6 specimens of the MyDoom emails to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others have sent me messages asking about them as well in their inbox.And YES, a resounding YES Nathan ... it is much worse over the last 2 weeks...much of it coming from out of the country if you can believe the headers LOL!

ibe98765 Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 I got a good one today. One of those Nigerian "Request for foreigh partner" money pitch letters. It was 123k long! But it was just a text message, so why was it so long? Because it has what looks to have over 1000 email addresses that it was sent to listed in the BCC field! Fools! This is what it looks like:Return-Path: <divinevi@divinevisitation.com>Received: from dom01.ipowerweb.com (12.129.237.190) by mail26b.sbc-webhosting.com (RS ver 1.0.90vs) with SMTP id 3-0940957728 for <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Wed, 4 Feb 2004 07:28:48 -0500 (EST)Received: (qmail 77855 invoked from network); 4 Feb 2004 02:29:00 -0000Received: from unknown (HELO dom01.ipowerweb.com) (127.0.0.1) by 0 with SMTP; 4 Feb 2004 02:29:00 -0000Content-Disposition: inlineContent-Transfer-Encoding: binaryMime-Version: 1.0From: zack shibarow <divinevi@divinevisitation.com>To: divinevi@divinevisitation,comSubject: Request For Foreign PartnerContent-Type: text/html;X-Mailer: AtMail Corp 3.61 - http://webbasedemail.com/X-Origin: 80.88.142.221Bcc: many email addresses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
