Spam report

It’s time for the new spam report! Since I run the mail server for several domains (well, 2), I have the benefit of being able to create an email address whenever I need one. For instance, if I needed to give an email address to “example.com” in order to sign up for something, I’d edit my .aliases file, and create the address “example.com -AT- logic.cx”. That way, I know, without a doubt, where a spammer got my email address.

That said, I just got a nice piece of targeted direct email from ncdiscs.com, and it was sent to “discgolf.com -AT- logic.cx”. So if you sign up for an account at discgolf.com, I’d recommend against giving them your email address. Maybe it’s as simple as a web-crawler went through the user list and catalogued the email addresses (there is no obfuscation in place, and I had entered my address as publicly-viewable), so you might be safe with just not providing a public email address. But personally, I don’t care. I will now never do business with ncdiscs.com (which is a shame, because their prices seem halfway decent), and I will also no longer be doing any business with discgolf.com, either. I think I’ll establish my own sub-page with a full listing of these.

Update: Aforementioned sub-page.
