Email - Tevine

A few weeks ago, I mentioned that Google mail was going to overtake hotmail in just 2 months time. Well, I was wrong. Google did it way faster, and managed to hit more than 5GB in just less than a month.

Looks like Google may have bought much more server space than before, because the growth rate in GMail space appears to be much more compared to 2 years ago. Well, it is a great feat that Google managed to increase its mail account by 5 times.

What? Someone using my email address in spam mail?

Posted by multippt

The extent of things people can do just to get money is limitless. This is outrageous - someone used my email address to spoof as its sender in a spam mail, and it is probably delivered to millions (even to my own email). It is a spoofed email, sent via Geocities (proxy/sendmail/SMTP) by an anonymous person. Now I know why email sent via my email address often ends up in the spam folder… This time, I’m going to put my email address as an image so only people can read. :D

This spam mail advertises Viagra - one pharmaceutical thing I shouldn’t be mentioning here. Unfortunately, I deleted the email too quickly (I should have take a screenshot of it… :/).

I hope this problem would not occur to anyone else. Now I know why people do not put their email addresses in the open. Lesson learned.
