…goes to 11!
July 18, 2005
So that explains the few hours of SA eating my server alive with an load of 11 or 12 on nuxx.net. It seems that someone is spamming as cstansfield1@dingleberrypie.com and lots of folks still have bounces turned on.
By bye mx record for dingleberrypie.com and all email… I don’t really use that domain anymore anyway.
If you just get rid of the MX record, mail systems will default to using the A record, so you will still get bounces.
You might want to drop the A record as well for a while, and add a TXT record with a SPF line indicating that any mail sent from the domain is forged.
It goes to eleven!
At least it wasn’t a matter of ‘ versus “
;)
