Re: GMail 'CheckAvailability' Script May Disclose said by justin:

but its only 480 names.
Not even worth one second of a spammers time.
Mabey not for a "big time" spammer, but little up and coming spammers can probably make a good profit for sending spam to gmail accounts since they are so popular

Let them. I have roughly 25 email accounts each for various services and reasons. As a stress test for Gmail and to test it's filtering and separation features I have since set all my email addys to forward a copy of any mail they receive to my Gmail account..

It did have one false positive but it was from a friend who's email name is quite close to something you'd consider spam at a first glance and the message did contain a few phrases that I can see being considered spam. But the resolution was simple I marked the sender as not spam and now all her emails come through just fine.

| I'm not sure that forwarding is a good test of spam filters. Because a forwarded message is distinctly different than a real spam message. It comes from a different place, for a start. Not saying your test doesn't say anything about gmail filters. Just not sure that if it in that test a spam filter let messages through it would let those same messages through if they were aimed at the account in the first place. |

It is not the best to be frist on the block after all:)
