• dessin: I got a spam email about a week back that slipped through my filter
• dessin: usually they don't get through, I get maybe one or two every year
• dessin: so I open up the headers and it turns out there's a yahoo account as the reply-to
• dessin: figured it's a long shot but I emailed it saying "stop sending me spam, asshole"
• dessin: turns out this guy is a complete dumbass and actually put his real email in the reply to - emails me back saying "fuck you, I'll spam who I want" and asking how I got his email and shit
• iggi: lol
• dessin: so I checked the headers again and found the IP that the email was sent from
• dessin: did a geoip lookup and got a pretty specific location in london, and found the local exhange from google maps
• dessin: and it was kinda out of the way in london so the exchange maybe covered 600 houses or so
• dessin: so I print off like 1000 leaflets saying "there is a spammer in your area, if you have any information please forward it to the police" and stuff
• dessin: took a train to london, two bus changes to the area
• iggi: wtf hahaha
• dessin: went round and posted the leaflets through every house in the area
• dessin: anyway this morning I get an email from the guy asking how I found his house and begging me not to tell the police
• iggi: ROFL HAHAHAHAHA!!
• iggi: massive overkill man
• dessin: I fucking hate spam :P
