lovingbothIf you've got a .uk domain, you've probably been getting some odd spam (not selling anything, just taunting you about how much spam you're getting) sent to catchthismail@ the domain.
[Poll #931238]
In other spam news, I've just had one offering me a list of 1,58,000 Indian companies (thus showing it probably does come from India - one hundred thousand is a 'lakh', so Indians put a comma there, rather than at the million mark) which boasts that it's 85% accurate.
Gosh.

Someone's clearly gone through a list of .co.uk domains, but why? It's not trying to sell anything, but there's not enough of it to be a proper denial of service, and sending it to the same almost-certainly-not-normally-used address makes it trivial to block.
