Hi,

They really have the nerve to use indiatimes.com and the whole alphabet from aaa - zzz in all possible combinations before the @. Coming through my catchall@

Subject: ....CONGRATULATIONS YOU HAVE WON.........

What did I win? a few thousand email in my inbox?

Oh well, so what? After I have been blacklisted by att and hotmail (due to my opt-in newsletter with a tiny 2000 subscribers) and having myself blacklisted yahoo (I am in B2B and never receive legit email from a yahoo account) I wonder whats next - Back to post cards?

(edit for typo)

I had 112,000 emails in one day via a catch all mail box in all possible combinations before the @.

All the email addresses which I use are now hard coded on the email server to stop it happening again, until they find one I am still using
