Ok...who is selling webmaster e-mails? - GoFuckYourself.com

SlamDesigns · 11-24-2006, 10:21 AM

Not mentioning any names, but in the past couple of weeks (most recently today) I have received e-mails from new programs. The e-mails make it seem like I'm already signed up for that program, and when I check...I'm not. The one I received today isn't associated with any other program (that I know of)...so my question is...which sponsor is selling my fucking e-mail address?

Oh no, I don't expect them to. I'm just pissed and wanted to let everyone else know about it.

Yeah, I probably have. And they do post here, so that's a real good possibility. I got to learn not to post my damn e-mail on message boards. lol

That's a damn good idea. I'll have to start doing that as well. What do you do, just set up a shitload of e-mail addys and have them all forward to one?

If you have a domain, have a main catchall account, and sign up to sponsors with a different email addys, like [email protected], as they will all be redirected to your main e-mail address you will still get them but you can easily pinpoint anybody who is leaking your e-mail address. Plus its also easier to stop incoming spam that way as you can just block one address.
