Well, that was dumb.

Moved by I know not what nostalgia, several weeks ago I went and re-activated my Columbia email account, as they nowadays permit alumi/ae to do. (This was especially pointless, because they only permit you to use your original, automatic, initials-plus-number username; whereas, as soon as the forces of nepotism got me a job as a lab dork and the concomitant self-chosen username, I used that exclusively for the following three years.)

The only effect of this action is that I've had to deal with a bunch of mailer-daemon bounces for spam runs that had my old old username, which I will reiterate has not seriously seen the light of day since 1992, forged as the From address.

We will now pause for sweh to say I Told You So.

Odd. I've had mine for years and haven't really had a problem with spam from that source...
