Attention visitors of Anomic.net: Like me, you may be the victim of a Spammer. During the month of December 2006, someone began forging my domain name (anomic.net). The spammer forged the From: and Reply-To: fields of his/her spam messages.

The same stands true for all these incidents: I didn't do it! I'm not a spammer.

Attention system administrators/spammer victims: I assure you, and the administrators of your ISP/domain, that I did not send you any spam email. It is very likely that the email in question was spam sent by someone who forged my email address/domain. These messages did not come from me. Someone else was forging my email address to send their SPAM.

Why would a spammer forge header data?: Spammers forge email header data like the From: and Reply-To: lines because they do not want to receive complaints (or complaints to their ISP). They just want your money. They want to remain anonymous so that they can continue to practice their illegal activities. So they can continue violating the law and stealing the resources and money of innocent victims. Unfortunately email forgery is simple and commonplace. Forgery of email header data makes it nearly impossible for the average email recipient to complain about or report spam effectively. If you can't figure out who really sent you the spam, you can't get them shut down.

I am truly hoping you will understand that you and me are just another victim of an endless and stupid war.

Thank you.
