a creative blog

So many blogs out there.. so few stand out.

This one does. He found a memory card in a taxi cab and is posting a picture from it every day. He’s also pretending he is the owner of the pictures, so he’s posting quite a bit of text with every entry he makes.

Hartland.net mail mis-configuration

I just ordered new personal checks from hartland.net (via my bank) and their mail server has apparently tagged their own order confirmation email as spam:

From: Order-Status@Harland.Net
To: XXX@YYYYYYY.NNN
Subject: Suspected Spam: Harland Store Order Confirmation

Dear MAILER-DAEMON

I admin almost a dozen email servers across the country, and I wonder if anyone else gets some funny replies to mailer-daemon messages. Because I use qmail, a non deliverable message looks something like this:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at somedomain.com.
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.

…and then some relevant error as to why the message could not be delivered.

These are a few of the replies i’ve seen recently from customers:

Don’t give up!!!

you can’t because that’s my friend

(That one was in response to a error that said “222.222.222.222 does not like recipient”)

and finally,

leave me alone jerk
