Yahoo mail just continues to impress
I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise based on my other issues with them but Yahoo! has started to spam me because they can't configure a mail server. Apparently I've been joe job'd and my hotjoe.com domain is being used as the "From" or "Return-Path" address in spam to hotjobs.com. But Yahoo! is apparently not aware of best practices when responding to email:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mx-in1.hj.scd.yahoo.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <zerosolo@hotjobs.yahoo.com>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1) --- Below this line is a copy of the message. Return-Path: <webmaster@hotjoe.com> Received: (qmail 10126 invoked by uid 8004); 30 Apr 2008 04:29:28 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO homeuser148-76.ccl.perm.ru) (195.222.148.76) by mx-in1.hj.scd.yahoo.com with SMTP; 30 Apr 2008 04:29:28 -0000 Content-Return: allowed X-Mailer: CME-V6.5.4.3; MSN Message-Id: <20080430112924.6436.qmail@homeuser148-76.ccl.perm.ru> To: <zerosolo@hotjobs.yahoo.com> Subject: Dear zerosolo@hotjobs.yahoo.com April 80% 0FF From: VIAGRA ® Official Site <zerosolo@hotjobs.yahoo.com>
These folks just shouldn't be in the email business as they are utterly clueless. Now that the sale to Microsoft has fallen through I'm not guessing that they'll get any better.
