Spam from brettpeters.org? I don't think so.

I really hate spammers.

Starting in April 2006, my domain (brettpeters.org) was picked up by spammers who began using it as a From: address in their spam. People all over the world started getting emails from addresses like 12asdf90132@brettpeters.org, which I only found out about because of the bounce messages/out of office replies that started pouring in. I’m now getting flooded with these bounces, which tells me that there’s a pretty heavy load of spam out there with my name on it.

I am not sending these messages, and am more than a little upset that someone appropriated my name to do so.

So: if you are receiving these spam emails and don’t know me, I suggest filtering all email coming from this domain (not my ISP or host, though, since that won’t stop them) away from your inbox with a local rule in your mail client. If you are getting them and do know me, blacklist the domain and whitelist my email address.
