In New Zealand
I landed safely in NZ after a 24 hour journey - I think, it's hard to keep track of "real" hours - and got to my hotel in Christchurch at 6am. Great flight due to the luck of getting an exit row seat.
It's cold here; like 5 degrees F cold. Nice though having no humidity!
Hotel comes with broadband of course, so I plugged in to get my email. An hour later I'm still getting my email.
Over 6,000 spam emails were waiting for me.
All of them were a variation of the theme:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.
A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:
macabre@barracuda.elinuxservers.com
(generated from something@dfcccoimn.com)
Disk quota exceeded:
mailbox is full: retry timeout exceeded
Of course this probably happens every day to me, but I just don't notice. My desktop is fast, has 2gb RAM and a very fast connection and spambayes works flawlessly. Here, my laptop is a LOT slower, as is the hotel connection. Logging onto the wen interface of my mail server isn't working much better - it can't cope well with this much email.
I really dislike spammers.
