Receiving Friendly Fire, Returning Same With Smile..

Now I’m starting to get people sending me emails via my contact form who are a bit steamed about supposedly getting spam from me.  Here’s the best, most succinct, example (from a gentleman who goes by the name TIM BLUST (and whose SHIFT-LOCK is locked in high dudgeon mode)):

I DO NOT KNOW HOW YOU GOT MY E-MAIL ADDRESS BUT PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM IT AND DO NOT SEND ME ANYMORE SHIT

Others were a bit more polite or used a bit more verbiage, but this one hit all the highlights:  How did you get my email? -and- Stop sending me emails.

It’s unfortunate that I can’t find a way to channel all the indignation and send it to its deserving target.  If I could figure it out we wouldn’t have any more problems with this spammer, as he would have long ago been reduced to a small pile of ash…

For the more irate ones, I use the following response:

I am not the one who is sending you email.  The sender has FORGED the email sender information to make it appear to have come from a user on my domain.  In general, one should never trust the “From:” address in a spam email, as spammers generally fake these to avoid getting irate emails such as the one I just got from you.  mad

The more polite ones get a bit more explanation (and no frowny).
