can spammers use any email addy..? - GoFuckYourself.com

nico-t · 07-11-2006, 04:47 PM

i got this 'mail returned blabla' on one of my email addys... sometimes these things are creative spam emails, but this one actually looks like it was sent by a spammer using my email address, and that i received a mail returned email (email addy he tried to send to didnt exist).. is this possible?

Screaming · 07-11-2006, 04:49 PM

yes ofcourse.

Alot of times its done to an email address like that on purpose.

you piss anyone off recently?

Shit happening to my sites all the time. I have lots of jealous people, haha.

But other than filling my Gmail with 100,000s of emails, it's not doing anything.

explain please?

Mr. Soul · 07-11-2006, 07:55 PM

Yes, they can. It's just a matter of putting your email address into the "from" form in their mailer program. Most proxy spammers don't use really addresses, some make them up randomly, some harvest addys from places like GFY.
