1 edit | Spam (weakly) trying to discredit us
Some unsavory types that (we believe) have been financially hurt by our anti-scam, anti-phish efforts are attempting to discredit us by pumping out spam with our URL in it. The spam originates from hijacked PCs, it is badly written and sort of pointless.
There isn't anything we can do about this spam and we're sorry if you are wasting your time reading it - or reading this message after receiving it! |

| this, and other similar, sites got to be proud of the service to the community in fighting, annoying and hurting ruffians wherever they are 
Well done!

I only hope it goes from continued and dramatic financial hurt to freedom hurt. Like as in a room 6 x 9 x 9.5 feet high that they have no key to open. Maybe the bums can get a legitimate job breaking rocks.

You guys don't use DKIM and/or SPF to help combat stuff like that?

Salem, MA | Right. I don't really believe in SPF and especially DKIM, but that is the general idea (not too many people using SPF and nearly nobody on DKIM yet).

1 edit | yeah it isn't that the email tries to come from our domain it is that the body acts like an advert to visit the site but for a sleazy reason (and with typically poor English).
Making money by scamming people must be a lifestyle for the lazy - if you can really be a success at it without having to engage a native English speaker somewhere in your "organisation" to vet stuff before it goes out. |
