Recently, I have received various kind emails to the email address I published in my column.
- mercari
We have detected that your Mercurial Account has been abused by a third party and your account has been restricted.
"I don't use Mercury"

We regret to inform you that we have restricted the use of some of your cards due to a transaction for which we would like to confirm whether the transaction was made by you or not.
"I don't have an AEON card"

Thank you for using JCB Card.
"I don't use a JCB card"

"The Ebata family's telecommunications infrastructure is not JCOM"

Purposely,
- From China (.cn domain)
- For services that I neither possess nor use.
- for your courteous warning.
I thank your cooperation, however,
"They are very annoying"
So, yesterday, I deleted all the e-mail addresses that I had published in my column.
I may revive it later, but I will leave it alone for a month or so.
If the error mail is delivered to the sender, it will not be resent.

It is quite convenient to have a personal domain name (in my case "kobore.net") and an environment where you can add and delete a number of email addresses.
I also change my personal email address from time to time.
This is to smartly shake off senders who send meaningless e-mails.
Even if I don't respond, mailer-daemon responds with "User unknown" and there is no need for me to answer.
I have received many different emails, but even I am afraid of emails from people who send me text messages that sound like 'I can hear God's voice'.

I remember that I once created an automatic mail response system that made it look like a reply from "mailer-daemon" only to a specific person.
