Question Email spoofers

For the last several weeks my inbox has been cluttered with thousands of "undeliverable" messages pertaining to a spoofed hadafew.com email with the subject "Hello Von Mira" which has been pounding hapless recipients in Germany.

Suddenly that's all stopped and I'm now being bombarded with messages from spurious individuals at silvercash, dannicash, drbizzaro, and many others, all with viruses attached (thankfully all were removed by NAV).

The point is - I know that spoofing is behind it. But, as Michael Caine apocryphally said, "Not everybody knows that!"

Anybody know how to stop the spoofers?

No, but I wish I did. About a month ago some fuckin jagoff used the drbizzaro.com domain to send out their fucking shitty spam and the result was me having to shut off my catchall account (Every email was a random output@drbizzaro.com). The first day I received about 80,000 returned and undeliverable emails.

To top it all off I get complaints from people who get the shit. CCing me and forwarding the emails to the government and spam companies.

If I find out who the fuck did that shit, I'm gonna kill them.
It's been over a month and I still can't turn my catchall back on.

I can't wait till these fucking Spammers start going to Jail and getting huge ass fines.

Speaking of which, , I just found
this ASSKICKING ANIT-SPAM EMAIL PROGRAM. I downloaded a free 2 week trial and bought it by the end of the day.

Not only did it black 99% of my spam, but I can help report spammers now too. Pretty fucking cool.

IMO MailWasher still has it all over these anti-SPAM programs.. in that you dont EVER have to download the bloody email.. and when you get as many spam/spoofs and virus email as I do that save time bandwidth and hassle.

If you never download it, how do you know it's not removing some important emails by mistake?

With every spam program I have used, they has mistakenly placed some emails that I wanted into the spam folder.
Be it sponsor newsletters or personal emails.

I got a "real" email this morning from my IP notifying me about "fake" emails from them this week and not to give out my info. I didn't see them. Of course I'm pretty good at knowing the difference.

I sat down a worked out which email addresses I really really needed. Like info@ , urb@ , webmaster@ , etc.

Then blocked everything else out which, for the domain I have with no catch-all, works very well.

DrB all headers are viewable.. before deletion.. so its easy not to miss stuff, and there is of course a whitelist.

During this virus period alone I have NOT had to download >200 MB of BS emails - and that would be 100 of gigs over a year..

..and the virus email never even get to my PC...

Those spurrious emails spoofing companies are likely carriers of the MyDoom virus. I just got my 3rd dat file update from TrendMicro in as many days. This worm is nasty and it keeps mutating itself. Supposedly it's set to launch a global DDOS attack against SCO on Feb. 1st.

The e-mail spamming is a big problem and with new antispam programs comes new ways around it. One of the better ways I have seen is to use a graphic signature for your e-mail contact. One other way is to use your initials or code in the subject line when sending e-mail out so friends or contacts know it is from you and not a virus program. I don't know of any virus that copies the subject line, yet........ most have a no subject or a general phrase in the subject line.
