Plaintive Plea

Like many of you I'm sure, I've recently been getting a lot of spam which appears to have been sent from my own e-mail address. This beats the computer but it's doesn't beat me, as I am no more likely to buy Canadian Viagra online if I have recommended it to myself than if someone else has recommended it to me. Anyway, today I received one of those pieces of self-posted spam, only this one had the subject line: "Please, forgive me and answer."

Forgive myself and answer. Forgive myself and answer.

That's going to haunt me all day.

My spam-attack petered out in about 24 hours after about 6000 reply-to messages. I hope you've got a good spam filter... Thankfully my gmail caught everything except maybe 15 messages.

Spammers (and anyone else for that matter) can 'fake' the from address of an email, which is why you should never rely on it.
