can spammers use any email addy..?
 

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?

yes ofcourse.

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

you piss anyone off recently?

dictionary style attack, so yes. :)

oops sorry about that

welcome to smurfing spoofing and tips and tricks how to fuck someone over

sure you can

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.

sure :321GFY can

happened to me once too, but only to the email adress I use on GFY

I guess someone must have been jealous of my postcount...

or someone must've been jealous of how well the polish team performed at the world cup.

wait...

just disable the 'catch-all' and use only certain aliases.

nope didnt piss anyone off.... its my (or was my) email addy i use for tgp & linklist submissions..

sucks but yes.

explain please?

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.

Probably harvested.
