Dear Group,
I have made an interesting observation and would appreciate your comments.
I receive spam e-mail which is NOT addresses to me. The first three letters in the e-mail address of the spam are identical to the first three letters of my regular e-mail ddress, the remainder is not.
Example: my real address might be: abcd....@, but the address under which the spam is delivered might be abcxy....@
I have tried to mail to abcxy....@ and the mail does not reach me, nor is a message about undeliverabiltiy returned to me.
I find this curious. !.) How is it that an ISP will allow mail under an address which is not mine to pass?
2.) Why is it that I can't send and receive mail using this address? 3.) Why is it that no "undeliverable" message is returned?Thank you for any explanations. GR.
