Spam and Livejournal email
Sep. 24th, 2007 01:49 pmI have commented lately that I have been getting a lot of virus laden spam. It really doesn't hurt because none of the viruses affect my Mac. It was just annoying to get six or more of these every day.
Because of an offhand comment in one of the lj business comms (I can't recall where) that I began to suspect the source of the spam. So I conducted a little experiment.
A week ago I disabled my lj email address. I had forgotten that I had, long ago, forwarded that address to my standard email address. In the last week, I have gotten no virus spams. None. From six or more per day to none overnight.
I'd say I found the problem.
