Their advice was simply to treat all such mail as spam.
I cannot believe that some spammer has gone to these lengths just to target me. Is nobody else getting these 'dtn' bounces?
A whois search on dtn.ntl.com drew a blank. Call me paranoid, but I cannot help feeling that there is more to this than just another spammer's ploy. |
everyone who has a ntlworld address also has a dtn address - its an alias for the same thing.
