Backscatter... Happens To Me (gmail Acct)


Recommended Posts

I have been getting emails sent to my gmail spam account on ocassion that really bug me... because they 'say' they're from me.

So... I change my gmail password to a really long random string thinking that maybe someone had hacked my account and now they have to start all over (as if anyone really wanted to, LOL)... but the spam (sent by me?) still continued.

Well now I have an explanation. While reading Digg, a PC World article came up to enlighten me... 100_email_bouncebacks_youve_been_backscattered

Just another annoyance to add to the spam count.

The site took too long to load, I didn't wait. So now there's a way to force e-mail to suggest it came from YOUR account? Duh. Think of all the wasted brainpower in the world from people coming up with ways to annoy others.
