Spam...

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader has wanted to comment on so much today. But he has been innundated with spam. It seems a German-language spammer has discovered the nakedvillainy domain and decided to try just about every possible name immaginable in front of the - at - sign to send a message to.

So far since last night around 1:35am your Maximum Leader has received over 18,000 e-mailed messages.

Yes, that number is correct. Eighteen Thousand.

Up to this point your Maximum Leader had designated one of the addresses on the nakedvillainy domain as a "catch all" account. So, if someone couldn't remember to send a message to "maximumleader" - at - nakedvillainy - dot - com it would still wind up getting to your Maximum Leader. Well, that catch all account forwarded ever trial spam balloon to is regular e-mail account.

It also took your Maximum Leader about 3 hours to remember he had a "catch all" account and turn it off.

So, if on the off chance you sent your Maximum Leader an e-mail in the past 24 hours, it is likely that he hasn't found it or read it. He is actually reviewing the sender/subject lines of all the e-mails to avoid deleting messages he might want to read. But it might take him a while.

Just looked at e-mail account again. Overlooked a few messages... Spam count approached 20,000 messages before pipe was closed. (19,416 to be exact. Ick.)

Carry on.
