I've started receiving emails that look something like this:
Dear user of Pastiche.org e-mail server gateway,
Your e-mail account has been temporary disabled because of unauthorized access.
Pay attention on attached file.
Have a good day,
The Pastiche.org team http://www.pastiche.org
The attachment, obviously enough, is yet another email-borne worm. However, seeing as I am the Pastiche.org team (and have been since 1997), these mails always give me a bit of a double-take.
Once, when I was more active on Usenet, somebody complained to my postmaster about me: I had apparently committed some egregious crime against humanity by flaming him, and my account deserved to be pulled immediately. The postmaster@pastiche.org address is aliased to my regular inbox. I replied (from the postmaster address):
Thankyou for registering your complaint about this user. He is an habitual troublemaker, and in accordance with our zero-tolerance policy for Internet troublemakers we have had him shot. Have a nice day.
it'd be better if you were getting them for charlesmiller.net
=D
I redirected the MX record for charlesmiller.net to 127.0.0.1, because the only email I was receiving on that address was spam.
Heh, I read this at my home computer, and my 9-year-old son wanted to know what I was laughing at. I was at an utter loss for where to begin explaining.
