In response to the replies, hmm, I never thought about fwing it back to the company that sold my e-mail address, how clever.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Alternative-SPAM-trap-2538874 Mon, 18 Feb 2002 21:45:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Cool-test-2538039
AS an old timer, I used variations on my name for magazine subscriptions in the past to track this sort of thing. Now it's email addresses. Plus c'a change, plus c'a meme chose, as they say.

Now That's Cool!

OTOH, "an eye for an eye and pretty soon the whole world will be blind" - an email for an email ... now where's that gonna' lead? ;(

The spam tips off who sold it, at which time I begin forwarding that entire email address to the CEO of the company that sold it, or the support email address.

Provide a unique "name" (to each and every?) contact you provide an email name. Say, amazon@mydomain.com, dslreports@mydomain.com, cnn@mydomain.com, yahoo@mydomain.com ...

Then, if email arrives from other than the original contact, you will know where the leak was.

This could be an interesting test. create a 3-letter hotmail account and a 7 letter account. see how long it takes each to get spam.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-HOW-my-hotmailcom-mail-was-taken-2525381 Sun, 17 Feb 2002 15:25:44 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/HOW-my-hotmailcom-mail-was-taken-2525071
And then a few weeks afterwards I began receiving SPAM!!!

How could that be!? It might very well that someone working at hotmal.com sneaked it out!?
