  Me, hosting my own mailserver: “Neat”

    Same. But also, I’ll never forget the adrenaline when I actually legitimately fucked up once. Was a sweaty 2 hours of recovery.

      Once I rescued all my mails with an offline Thunderbird install.

  So, my father in Australia is losing his computer skills over time and in order for me to make sure he’s not being scammed, again, he gave me access to his outlook mail. After checking for a week or two, his spam mail has changed languages. Not just the official “advertising” but the spam mail.

  How is this possible without micro soft dicks selling this information to spammers?

    If you’ve opened any of the emails and loaded any images, the server hosting those images gets your IP when you load the image. Some times it’s just a single pixel

      ah, the 'ol transparant pixel

      Which is why any decent mail client doesn’t do that by default and why web interfaces suck.

      So they could stop it, but don’t. I’ll never get him to switch to something like proton mail or whatever safe alternative there is.

    Thunderbird != Exchange online

    It was the email service that was down, not the software.

      It’s neat how thunderbird has an add-on.

  I’m wondering if it has anything to do with the recent spam of authenticator access to accounts…

    No they fessed up. Infrastructure failure then they messed up load balancing when trying to fix it.

      Their AI replacement. I see that the article has been altered since I’ve favorited it, changing its original tune. Nevertheless, I know people in msft, and they’re doing exactly that (replacing older human-written code with slop). One of my mates left msft for this exact reason.
