So, it appears that friends of mine have been getting spam from
my email address, or email addresses like mine, or at least from my
domain. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that it's not
actually from me. Why would I say that? Besides the fact that
I get spam to, from me, to me, even to the point that I have a
spam addressed management@abando.com from me (eric@abando.com)
complaining about receiving spam from that domain. Said spam
in question also contains a .bmp file and a password protected
zip file with odd names. Anyway, to get spam from me, to get
email address of people in my address book, that would be someone
hacking into my linux box, looking in my home directory at my
alias list for mutt and going through my procmail recipes for
the pseudo listservs that I run for the email addresses, then
sending out a bunch of emails with zips and bmps and pifs and what
not. So, I'm gonna guess I'm not sending any spam. So who might
be? Well, here's the kicker: I've gotten spam on my beach, boston,
poker, and kaze lists. Trojans that run on windows harvest email
addresses to either spam or propagate themselves from existing
emails in Outlook. So, my guess it's someone on all three of those
lists, who runs Windows most likely Outlook, and saves email.
Doing some more digging, the only person currently on all of them
is me. Whoops. That doesn't sound like a scapegoat. I still
don't think I'm sending out all that spam. Anyway, Sandblast
captain's meeting tonight, playing tomorrow and Sunday. I need
to pump up the tires on my bike so I can ride to the beach.
Managed to get my Airport Expresses working with no problems,
no longer WDS, I didn't like the requirements.
