I woke up this morning, and as I always do, first thing I did was check my email.

My junk mail box contained 6000+ bounced messages.

Some spammer is spoofing return addresses @kevyn.com, and sending out spam advertising Windows Vista, of all things. Ugh.

And the onslaught is continuing. Every few minutes, there's dozens more. Fuckers.

It's not the first time this has happened. Every few months, kevyn.com comes up in some spammer's rotation somewhere, and I end up having to delete thousands of messages. What a pain in the ass.

Nothing to do now but wait out the storm.

*sigh*

If anyone sent me something that got caught by my junk mail filter, I'm sorry, but I am deleting everything in that folder en masse, without looking to see if any legit mails got caught. Sorry.

FINALLY! The onslaught seems to have abated. After another 5,000 bounced spam emails, bringing the total up to 33,000, it appears the spammers have moved on to torment some other poor soul's domain.

My email has been violently taken control of for 24 hours by someone for their own nefarious purposes. I feel raped.
