Its started up again. For the past few weeks our email in boxes have been receiving scores of emails purportedly from such various "departments" @ignatzmice.com as, for example:

support@
membership@
webmaster@
accounts@

all ask you to open the attachment included with each email for further information or to do something.

please do not, these are all viruses. in fact we had never used such "departments", and other than our own automated registration process, we have never sent out unsolicited emails of any kind. we know that all of you have by now installed anti-virus software, so this shouldnt pose much of a problem, other than further junk clogging your in boxes.

we retired email originating from our own domain some time ago, and do not use ignatzmice.com for ANY outgoing mail. we still check the old inbox obviously---for legacy purposes.

it's a pity so many sites can no longer use their own mail systems.

examples of the types of rubbish being sent:
