MikeJ Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 You know you get too much spam when one shows up in your mailbox before you change your MX record to point to it. Quote
Alan Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 lol, I just reply to every message I get from the people, with the same message they sent to me, from my Yahoo! Account Quote
Deverill Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 Remember to go into your cpanel to turn on Spam Assassin filtering. If you get mail that does not look like spam then you can even turn down the points at which SA filters junk mail. Some of the computing and web design newsletters I get look a lot like spam so I've left mine at the default 5.0 Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted January 30, 2004 Posted January 30, 2004 lol, I just reply to every message I get from the people, with the same message they sent to me, from my Yahoo! Account But most likely the address that it says the mail came from was probably spoofed or doesn't even exist. Quote
MikeJ Posted January 30, 2004 Author Posted January 30, 2004 Yea...the spam filter will be used for sure. I get well over 200 spams a day on that account. It was just kind of funny because a message showed up and I don't even have MX pointing to TCH yet. It looks like a case where I had repointed the domain's "biggorilla.com" PTR record to the TCH server for web serving purposes, and the sending SMTP host must have ignored the MX record, and sent to the domain PTR record instead. At least that's my suspicion, because the only way it would have picked up TCH as the MX is if they used TCH's nameservers, which aren't authoritive yet as far as the root name servers are concerned.
