    Lately I've been getting a lot of mail from . My domain is upontherainbow.com and I do have a catchall account called kat at upontherainbow dot com. It's the only account I have. Here's an email today that came to .

    There's never a link in these e-mails but there are attachments which I obviously don't open. Is this just fake spam trying to get me to open the attachments, or am I being joe-jobbed?
