I got that same message today - from the JoshuaPettit.com team. And considering that I am the whole company, not to mention I own the whole server - I was pretty saddened to know that they had suspended my email account.

Uh, yeah, because that would be secure.

that one will convince a few I'm afraid. Internet users, for the majority, are not too bright!

Crap [] Hello user of Joshuapettit.com e-mail server, Our main mailing server will be temporary unavaible for next two days, to continue receiving mail in these days you have to configure our free auto-forwarding service. For further details see the attach. In order to read the attach you have to use the following password: 44533. Cheers, The Joshuapettit.com team http://www.joshuapettit.com[/] I own the hosting company and my email is unavailable unless I run the attached virus. That sucks.

Do you have any idea how many times a day I get a similar email from [] [email protected][/] to [] [email protected]?[/] Let me give you a hint. It is 11:00 am and I have 2083 emails to an address that doesn't [] [email protected][/], 241 spam emails to me, 6 viruses quarantined, and 315 new incoming legit emails. I will admit the first time I got one of those it really made me pause and scratch my head.
Picture perfect penmanship here.

Yeah, it's just depressing - I try to behave myself, yet the joshuapettit.com team seems to want to take away my email. Although if I didn't have that email address - I'd surely have alot more free time.

Nav, you should take a vaction. Then you could spend a week catching up with your email. This email is funny...until it gets sent to a user and they send you a panicked email...then its hilarious. I've got a single email address that forwards out to all of my users. I am just waiting for that to get hit. Won't that be a fun day. Maybe I should send out a warning email...but, nah, I'll burn that bridge when I get there.

My wife got the same one from my domain. I'm glad I could delete it before she could open it up.
