Talk about makin' a body real mad.... It's happened again! I'm getting a slew of failed mail notifications because some spam [nasty] has appropriated my e-mail address! I reported it to the Mindspring/Earthlink abuse desk, but don't know if they can/will do anything (I sent a copy of the full text of one of the 30 failure notifications).... Anyone have any further ideas? I do have the failure notifications, some of which include an attachment of the filthy spam....
Can I sue someone? Can I have someone arrested for stealing my online identity? Should I write my Congresscritters? (Actually, I'd rather get the jerks thrown off of their ISP but whois doesn't recognize their site -- which is teens.sexln.com (an actual working site, ugh).)
A typical header from one of the more complete attached originals is:
