“Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mercury.shreve.net. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out… abcdefg@shreve.net
– Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)… Below this line is a copy of the message.” Listen up, MORONS: you don't need to send me false “failure notices” anymore. I get it! I understand that this is a user that doesn't exist. What YOU need to understand is: my e-mail address was spoofed by a virus! You're tap dancing on my last nerve here. Hire a sysadmin who can configure an account for this mythical “abcdefg,” and have all incoming data dumped directly to the bit bucket. Or, ya know, keep sending me 100k messages every four minutes and that might stop the cycle.
