Actually they've apparently got random name generators at domain names. I'm
getting dozens of mydooms a day, and getting bounces from other people that are
supposedly getting them from me, all with different "one-first-name@domain.com"
addresses - none of which are valid, or the names of anybody that ever worked
here, so they shouldn't have come out of anybody's address book. Grrr.

Yep I can verify that. Each domain I administer is getting about 100 hits
an hour to random single firstnames e.g. bob@ anne@

Interesting they have not tried to hit admin@ postmaster@ I guess they
think that these people are too knowledgeable to bother with as they never
open e-mail any way.

ack. I maxed out at 100 a DAY. And today I only got 4. Whew!

Yeah. Nothing to those, or webmaster, or human resources. Just random first
names.

There isn't a tom RemoveThis @larryniven.org address set up, it doesn't exist.

A good example of how MyDoom corrupts email addresses and hostnames.

I got "Admin@com.com" as a From: address... Pretty obviously fake, though.
