Since Thursday, I've had a -lot- of spam hit me in the form of my own auth
requests for mailing me.  Over 20.  That's because they're forging the From
addresses as various bogus accounts at fairlite.com.  Usually I see this
like twice (2 messages) per year since I put in my auth system.

I'm pretty miffed, too.  Not because I get hit with my own notices--I can
fix that if I want.  But because they're in effect using my good name.

Hasn't happened yet today though, so this lends credence to the weekend
theory.
