I've Been Joe-Jobbed Again

By Professor University of Miami School of Law

Someone has emailed the entire universe a series of cheap ads for tawdry goods forging my email address in the “from” line. It is not the first time I’ve been ‘joe jobbed’ but it seems to be an even more thorough job than in the past.

As a result, I’m getting a flood of mailed bounces, rejections, spam complaints and the like. No doubt many systems will now blacklist my address. And so on.

And it makes finding the real mail a bit of a needle in a haystack problem. Not to mention that if I tried to mail you, misspelled something, and it really bounced, I’ll never notice.

If you need to reach me in the next few days, or more, please consider the phone if I don’t reply.
