This morning at around 9:00am I began receiving SMTP server responses claiming my messages were not delivered to all recipients. The email addresses I had allegedly sent emails to were mostly Russian (.ru) and some Slovakian (.sk), which were unknown to me, and I had certainly not sent any emails to them.

Inspecting the message responses showed I was listed as the sender and the return-path for these messages, and provided me with the original email which was some sort of Russian spam for a website (which I obviously don’t want to list here to give them exposure).

If anyone is arriving at this domain looking for answers as to why I’m sending out spam emails in Russian to them, please let it be known it wasn’t me. I’m merely a victim in this situation and although I can’t remove my email address (because of its wide-spread importance to me) I can make this post to explain why I should not be to blame.

Thanks for your understanding!
