So, yeah, I just e-mailed Karl Rove. I'm going to post tomorrow at 12 PM

[originalpckelly]

And 6PM, if you don't hear from me, then call the Denver Police and the news media.

[Catherine Vincent]

1. Care to post what you emailed?

[nebenaube]

2. In this thread? n/t

[mmonk]

3. I take it wasn't flattering.

[Sydnie]

4. Please send someone a copy of what you actually sent

just for your own protection. A hard copy in certified mail to someone might not be a bad idea either.

[Botany]

9. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

If you need protection .. you know where I am. :rofl:

[Sydnie]

10. AWWWWWWWWWWWW

a new baby bay air picture. I love it ... and you! :hug: :loveya:

[windbreeze]

5. OPCK...this just isn't fair...

6. C'mon, give the late shift a break . . .

. . . and tell us about it.:popcorn:

7. Spill OMalley!

8. OK, you know that GWB43.com e-mail address?

Well, I typed [e-mail] and didn't get a mail daemon error back. That means that address is real.

I'm going to see if Bush has one.

I just tried an address that I believe to be false, and I'll see if I get an error back. If not, then I cannot guarantee I got the address, because it is not falsifiable. However, if I get an error, then it's a good addy.

[lonestarnot]

11. But what did you say?

[originalpckelly]

12. Here:

Subject line: "You are aware that not using a government e-mail system violates the Presidential Records Act, right?"

Body: "This is a chance to give your side of the story."

Of course, I've not received a daemon error back from the server on a bs address, so I cannot confirm this will actually go to Rove. I did follow the account naming conventions listed in the e-mails, so if Rove has one there, that's how it would be listed.

[mmonk]

13. Cool.

[originalpckelly]

17. My trick worked, although the KRove one didn't work.

I just received the error message, meaning I can come up with a combination on Rove or another WH official to see if they have an address at that server, and if it is right then I won't receive this error message back.

14. Many mail servers don't do bounces as an anti-spam policy.

:shrug: They just "bit-bucket" non-existent addressees.

15. Yep, after I didn't get response back on the bs one I tested...

I knew that old trick would work.

Spam sucks.

[originalpckelly]

16. Actually, I just received the daemon error!

:woohoo:

That means I can test out various addresses to see if they're real!!!! :wow:

[originalpckelly]

18. It just takes a long time to get it back.

It's forwarded through a large system if it is that slow.

[MADem]

19. Maybe not. Who besides me remembers how someone found a bunch of

embarrassing GOP emails out on the web, because they ended up on the wrong server--they ended up at a dot com place, instead of a dot gov?? It might have been WhiteHouse.com...

NO, it was GeorgeWBush dot COM as opposed to dot ORG, now that I think of it...and a bunch of idiots sent sensitive material up the yingyang to the wrong address!

And the dot com site was a parody site, so they had some fun with the emails...
