No spam filter is flawless and occasionally something gets through. Most of the time I bin them without comment, but this one caught my eye and inevitably I had to read it.

Every now and then my email accounts suffer what I suspect many people who own domains do these days - log on to your email and find a couple of thousand emails saying 'Message can't be delivered' or that kind of ilk.

It's bad enough turning on your computer after three days only to find some f***er has used your domain name as the from address whilst spamming the bergeebus out of half the known world. But then you find that several hundred of those email addresses the b***ards have used are no longer in operation, so you get several hundred "message not delivered" emails.

So hello. Here I am back again - it's been a while since I last posted, partly because I was just really busy early August (I have an email backlog a mile long) and partly because Catherine and myself were on holiday in Norway.

Whilst it's great to have emails coming in via the email forms again, it's reminded me just how much crap I get through...

It's been almost a year since I switched on SpamAssassin for the first time. I was rather cautious - setting it up so all spam would go into one folder that I could review and then delete. Just in case anything slipped through.
