I’ve started using the newsletter feature on one of my blogs and noticed that I have also started to receive emails from help@micro.blog with the subject line “Your email requires verification verify#(random string of characters)”. The emails seem to also reference an email address @hello.micro.blog (the one that is used to send out my newsletter).
Has something happened server-side or is this just a random issue?
It sounds like spammers are sending an email to your hello.micro.blog email address. Emails received by Micro.blog to that address are forwarded to you via help@micro.blog, so it essentially looks like the spam is coming from help@micro.blog. This is really annoying but not sure if we can do anything about it except try to flag spam ourselves and not forward it.
For now, I would just ignore those emails. If they are frequent, let me know.
Ah, that’s a shame. I was able to create a Gmail filter that sends only those particular emails to the bin so they’re at least not crowding up my inbox now.
