*@blender.nl SPAM

Am I the only one that is getting SPAM from everyone that had an email at blender.nl? someone shut down that server or something.

As far as I know, blender.nl does not actually resolve to a server any more:

Code: Select all

matt:~ matt$ ping blender.nl
ping: unknown host blender.nl

I have a feeling the spammers are just spoofing the address - not much one can do about that, unfortunately...

blender.nl is down since april 2002.
Spammers spoof everything, including blender.org addresses... :/

JWalton:

The most likely thing that's happening is that someone has a worm/virus/whatever on their Windows machine and all the blender.nl addresses still in their address book which the worm/visus/etc draws from for spoofing.

Outlook + clueless users = bad.
