  • Caught in my spam trap – paramountbathrooms.com / .co.uk

    I’ve decided to start naming and shaming the people who spam me. I have an email address hidden in the code of one of my web sites. It doesn’t display to visitors but robots will read it.  To give the spammers a sporting chance, the email address is nospam@….mydomain… I then email them to ask where they got the address from.

    Their response to asking where they got the email address from?

    sales@paramountbathrooms.com – asked twice, they never responded.

    Observations

    Their third spam email actually used someone elses domain (A foreign exchange business) as the sending address. I suspect that was an error rather than deliberate.

    However, they are using multiple domain names to send the emails, probably so the spam filters don’t associate the main domain name with the spam they are sending. You can see them using tradeonlyfurniture.com and parabath.asia

    And even after asking twice where they got the email address from they continue. Obviously I’m being too subtle.

  • BT Openzone, Mac OS X connection problems

    I’ve had a problem for a while connecting to BT Openzone from my mac.  I get an IP address. I can ping the gateway, but I can’t get online.  Using my android phone the connection always worked first time.  I read one forum post that the problem for one mac user was the DNS not being updated when the network was joined (he had google DNS set instead of BT Openzones DNS). I also had google DNS settings present (8.8.8.8) but removing them didn’t solve it for me.

    Today, Skype interrupted my connection and asked if I’d like to go online with BT Openzone. It allowed me to use my account with BT to connect and once I’d entered the details BT Openzone is working fine.

    I don’t know my problem is caused by skype, but on the other hand if you’re also struggling to connect maybe this will help you one step closer to a resolution.  Please comment if it works or if it doesn’t work to help the next reader.
