E-mails from long ago

Even in the days of social networks, e-mail addresses have been the main method of people sending messages over the Internet as it works much like the common postage system that most countries have. I do not need to explain e-mails to you but much like an address, e-mails too can change and when they do, people can lose contact.

You might wonder why the hell I am even saying this or may simply not care but as you may know the original URL of Tweaked for your Pleasure used to run on a CJB.NET subdomain (snat.cjb.net) and I used to run my e-mails from that domain. Well, the other day I was on the CJB.NET website and re-registered a sub-domain I used to “own” which still gets loads of links back. Well after registering the subdomain again, I decided to have a quick look at CJB.NET settings for snat.cjb.net to make sure the redirect to Snat.co.uk was still working.

Well after looking at it I discovered that snat.cjb.net MX records were still pointing to a mail server that I still had access to (thanks The Hosting for never actually deleting my mailing account even though you closed down, ran away and scammed your clients) and that the mail accounts were still alive. So I decided to load my former CJB.NET shell account and not set up my e-mail account in Evolution Mail as the CJB.NET shell still had all the passwords set up and I could not remember them for the life of me.

Either way, I loaded up my former mail client and after waiting a bit, I found I had around 2500 new e-mails with people wondering why I am no longer replying to e-mails and a lot of other e-mails from the likes of OpenDNS, GoDaddy and other places I never bothered changing my e-mail.

There is no point to this article other than if you change your e-mail, at least tell people about it because lately a lot of people have changed their e-mail now and very few have bothered to tell me what it is so I could update my records and then wonder why they never get any e-mails.
