as a coauthor of rfc2136, my curiousity is always piqued when spammers use the technology. can i get private forwards of other similar messages? (see below.)
(and yes, i'll also be in touch with level3, who serves 166.90.15.236, from whence this message came.)
(time was, anyone who could use postfix and php would also know better than to spam, or at least, to spam *me*. <grump> <grumble>.)
[snip] I hate to sound like the big idiot here, but what exactly in the email you received indicates no-ip.com spammed? It looks to me like you just have some secret "admirer" who thought you wanted a no-ip.com account, and no-ip.com emailed you to confirm that you do want the account. Vivien Random disclaimer: Yes, we're a competitor of no-ip.com's... And yes, we used to send similar emails to people signing up for an account, although nowadays instead of sending them an initial password we send a confirm URL instead. -- Vivien M. vivienm@dyndns.org Assistant System Administrator Dynamic DNS Network Services http://www.dyndns.org/
