Spam with sender address abuse@spinnaker.de
You may have seen unsolicited commercial e-mail which was sent out with address abuse@spinnaker.de in the header From: and envelope FROM line. I (Roland Rosenfeld, the owner of this e-mail address) do not have to do anything with this mails. Please have a look at the IP addresses, from where the mails are injected and you'll see, that the mails were injected all over the world, but not from me (located in Germany).I have no idea, why my address was hijacked for this (someone seems to hate me), but it means, that I receive an average of 40 bounce message (of non existing addresses, auto responder, etc.) per minute, which is a denial of service attack against my mail address and the mail server of the domain spinnaker.de.
I do not plan to change my mail address or my domain name only because of this censored, so I modified the configuration of the mail server of spinnaker.de. I personally use a different envelope sender (used for bounces) in the mails I sent out myself now. This means, that every bounce message, which is sent to abuse@spinnaker.de, must be a response to the spam. So the mail server of spinnaker.de blocks every message with the following envelope:
MAIL FROM: <> RCPT TO: <abuse@spinnaker.de>
Sorry for inconvenience, but this is the only way to keep my mail address usable. If you see any problems with this setup, please let me know.
