Dear Web Visitor,
Have you gotten a Spam e-mail that is apparently from a user at ViaOz.Com? I can
assure you that it was NOT sent from a user at my Domain. How do I know?
Recently I've been getting "bounce" messages from mail-daemons telling me that
an e-mail sent from an e-mail address that was apparently from my domain was
undeliverable. What it told me is that some spammer is putting random
usernames in front of "@viaoz.com" in the From field of spam they are sending,
and shipping it out into the internet.
Here's a list of some of the Return Addresses on those e-mails:
"cosmin Spagat" <cosmin-rituryou@viaoz.com>
"priyanka Hannam" <rlkrt_1976@viaoz.com>
Hendrick-rkbocker@viaoz.com
"Boerre Ling" <Boerre-rmentous@viaoz.com>
rkkauden1957@viaoz.com
Hanno-rinet@viaoz.com
yenck@viaoz.com
"Amelia" <mollyfuttermano@viaoz.com>
zdxm@viaoz.com
vstrwai@viaoz.com
Katy.tang@sfo.org
axvsvly@sfo.org
ViaOz.Com is my personal web hosting site. I have very few e-mail users
on the various domains I control from ViaOz.Com. None of the Users shown above
are people who have e-mail addresses here, which is why the "bounce" message
came to me as the "catch-all" e-mail addressee on the Domain.
If you have any information on who actually sent the spam by
impersonating users on my Domain, please let me know. I would like to seek damages
from the perpetrators.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.
