[](//www.factorycity.net/blog/wp-images/20050409%5F-%5Fout%5Fof%5Foffice.png','viewPic','750','360','no'%29;)So factorycity.net has becoming the unwitting accomplice in a massive spam onslaught. I don't know who's using my domain for [spoofing](http://www.mailsbroadcast.com/email.broadcast.faq/46.email.spoofing.htm?ref=chrismessina.me), but it's really not cool. Waking up to 3,500 "delivery failures" just isn't a good way to start my weekend. However, I received [one failure notice](http://www.factorycity.net/blog/wp-images/20050409%5F-%5Fout%5Fof%5Foffice.png?ref=chrismessina.me) that I thought was particularly amusing and made up for the hour or so that I spent gutting my inbox, unsetting my catch-all email account and setting up the necessary aliases in place of my generic catch-all.
