Do not reply!
Wie geil ist das denn? Ich bin gerade auf donotreply.com gestoßen.
Ich denke, am Namen wird man schon vermuten können. was dahintersteckt:
“There are only about handful of registered owners of a donotreply.com email address. What normally happens is some spammer slugs it in, or more likely a lazy IT person decides they don’t want to deal with bounced emails one of their programs send out, so what they do is set it to something cute at @donotreply.com as the return address.
They think this solves the problem. No more bounced emails!
But in reality what they have just done is sent all bounced emails to me. And not just bounced emails, but if someone gets an email with the donotreply.com address and replies to it? Well hell, I get those too. Sometimes it is a quick note, sometimes it is a personal attack against another staff member… who knows!”
Großartig.
