told them that it was the first thing I did when they deactiveated the account. As of now, the tards still havent disabled my ftp access and my access to the forum database. .
) (its also interesting to find some of the so-called reputable companies that sell email addresses)I'm glad you've had success with your system. I used to do that exact same thing, however, when the spoofers finally went 'big' with my domain name I found that my legitimate addresses were also being blocked as 'bad' by various ISPs world wide. The solution was to cancel the catch-all address. Why? When I had my catch-all address active, all a spoofer needed to do was use anyname@mydomain.org which proves nothing about where they got the address from. It only suggests they have imaginations and word-generating software. All the bounced replies from "address/mailbox does not exist" would happily trundle into my inbox and ISPs would believe they'd found an active spammer. Result: blocked. Great. When the catch-all was removed, the bounced mail rebounded again... back to the ISPs where the postmasters could list the offending sender (which looked like me) as inactive. Problem solved.KM wrote:the best way to deal with spam is to have an anything@whatever address - so anything can go before the @ and you'll get the email, then use something different for everything you use the email address for - that way when you start getting spam not only do you know who gave your email addres out, but you can also block all email to that address and it will prevent the spam without effecting other emails
That system has worked well for me so far
