Which LL is sending spam?????

[Simon]

Hello webslave,

Before the hole gets dug too deep to easily climb from, it might be worth looking into how spammers operate.

One thing that some do is generate lists of words that are then tacked onto every "@somedomain.com" their bots can find. It's possible that your email address was 'magically' created in just this way.

And if you opened even one of their spam messages, it's possible that it had a tiny bit of code that identified your address to the spammer as a live one.

I'm not saying this is what happened with you. But it's happened to many of my addresses over the years, including ones that I'd created but hadn't ever used anywhere yet.

You've received some good advice in this thread. I'm just going to add that in today's world, if you're not already receiving thousands of spam emails a day, then you're nowhere near your potential in the adult biz.

P.S. I didn't see that there was a second page to this thread before I posted. So I guess I need to add that knowing UW as I do, it wouldn't have bothered me at all if he called me a cunt. He really does love that word. And a newbie... well, I call myself an 'elder noob' on some other board titles, so that wouldn't have done it either. Personally, I'd be more concerned with the 'ignorant' and 'whiney' words. YMMV
