Spamfoolery

As you likely know, I recently changed email addresses. As you might know, if you have lately tried to email me at the old address, I have set the old account to auto-reply with a message that asks you to use my new address. This message goes to the sender of every email sent to the old address, including spammers.

It will come as no surprise that this produces a lot of bounced messages. (Surprisingly, spammers don't like replies.) Here's part of a good bounce that I got today:

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

allaboutjesus@christianemail.com

I gotta say, if christianemail.com doesn't know allaboutjesus, who does?
