What's the odds?

Today I got a bounce mail caused by spam. Now there is nothing odd about that. But what are the odds that the mail was trying to be sent to an old email address of mine that has not been active for 6 years.

---- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ---
<Graham.Barr@tiuk.ti.com>
(reason: 550 <Graham.Barr@tiuk.ti.com>... User unknown)

Return-Path: <gbarr@pobox.com>

I don't think, therefore I spam

Spammers are a very sad bunch of people who will be the first against the wall when the revolution comes.

Hi,

Return-Path: ( reason for spam)

To overcome :

so , in your mail script return-path should be change to

Return-Path: "username/first name" .

That happens to me a lot.

And, as a side note, it didn't take long for me to regret adding the SMALL tag to our approved tag set for posts ... when mixed with a monospace font, I can't read it. :/

Adjust the style sheet to use px font sizes. This ensures that the fonts look pretty much the same on all platforms. Check out this article.
