Today's waste of time: email hackers!

 Today's misadventure was to clean up the mess when some Nigeria scammer managed to spoof my info@middlesexvillagetrading.com and send out emails to random people in my email address book.

People all over the world were writing to me and telling me that they couldn't figure out how to open the attachment and can I please resend.

Folks, never, ever open an email attachment if you are not sure what it is.

I managed to get down into the email server's security settings and set it so it couldn't be spoofed again...at least in theory.

So much of my time gets wasted by this kind of crap!
