You would also want to look for webmaster@ root@  nomail@

I generally try to count how many .edu names are in a file also...  A large number from a questionable source usually would indicate a harvested list from a discussion board..

It is a nice way of getting your money back, but unfortunately the damage would have already been done if the list was mailed to.

It would be nice to identify a list as a spam list prior to sending to it. For example, we scan for 'nospam@' addresses as well as the number of occurances of 'support@', 'info@', and 'sales@' addresses. Would anyone like to share what red flags you watch for when reviewing a list?

Also, has anyone dealt with a list company "infousa.com"? They say their lists are opt-in lists, however on their website it sounds like they harvest emails from public sources.

ClickZ has a very interesting article about putting a "spam clause" in rented lists. If the list turns out to contain provably spammous addresses (scraped, for example), the buy is free.

Has anyone tried this, or heard if it in action? I think it's a damn good idea.
