In the last few days, I got lot of mails from greetingcard.org that I received a greeting card.  But, Gmail has marked them spam and thrown into spam folder.  Usually, I check only few spam messages that I think Gmail has wrongly marked as spam to see whether they are actually spam or not.

So, I opened the greetingcard.org mail today and seen that it is actually not coming from greetingcard.org.  From address is looked like this:  greetingcard.org
<webmaster@infinisource.com>.  Someone used loopholes in mailing script of that site or spoofed the mail to send this spam message.

Email read like this:

From above you can see that mail is coming from another site with the user name as greetingcard.org.  It shows the greeting card link as an .exe file, which may contain harmful virus, malware, or adware.

So, how can we report it so that the domain and server can be shutdown and save others from this email attack?

Along with popular TLDs like .com, .net, .org, and .info, you can also register .us, .ca, .co.uk, and .co.nz and many more.

I can say from my experience with different domain registrars that PayLessDomains’ easy-to-use interface is the best and easy one after NameCheap. Domain registration charges are starting from $11.95 per year (AUD), which is really good. It also offers cheap web hosting starting from AU$ 6.66/month, which gives you 1 GB storage and 3 GB/per month data transfer.

What does “Who Is” mean?
WHOIS is a TCP-based query/response protocol which is widely used for querying a database in order to determine the owner of a domain name, an IP address, or an autonomous system number on the Internet. WHOIS lookups were traditionally made using a command line interface, but a number of simplified web-based tools now exist for looking up domain ownership details from different databases. Web-based WHOIS clients still rely on the WHOIS protocol to connect to a WHOIS server and do lookups, and command-line WHOIS clients are still quite widely used by system administrators. – Wikipedia

A month ago, I have accidentally seen that naveen.info was expired and it was pending for deletion. I surprised to see that because getting Hindu first name is very difficult and almost all names will be registered by someone who wants to sell the domains on Sedo at a premium rate (not less than $500). Then, I have gone through lot of webmasters’ discussion forums to find out which backorder company will help me in getting it. I heard that backordering with SnapNames and Pool.com will work. Further reading told me that the domain was registered with Network Solutions and SnapNames is a priority partner of Network Solutions. So, it is sure that SnapNames can get me the name more than any other backorder company. I placed a bid for $60 (initial bid) two weeks before deletion of the domain. Though it was expired, there are chances that registrant can renew it, but he needs to shell out a lot of money ($80…I think).

Anyway, the original registrant didn’t renew it and no one bid against me and I successfully acquired my favorite domain on March 2, 2007 at 2:00 a.m. (IST). Thank you SnapNames.
