Moin, over the past 2-3 weeks, I saw a slightly more filled queue for email- security-scans.org; A lot of users seemed to start tests, but never received the corresponding test mails; In most cases, the ESP hat shutdown delivery to these inboxes due to a sudden high volume of inbound messages, with most addresses hosted being under @gmail.com (and some outlook.com/yahoo.com as well).
A bit of digging found several end-user reports of the following MO: - Get phished - Something expensive is bought - Mailbox is overflown right when the notification of the transaction comes, likely in a bid to hide the illicit purchase Naturally, there now have been some 'adjustments' to the service to make sure it no longer contributes to that... and maybe finds some insight into what is happening there... *loglog* However, I'd be interested in hearing whether I had just missed some very common spam reason here; So: - Did somebody else stumble over this in the past and/or did i simply miss this being a thing? - How is this handled for, e.g., all the other tools that allow generating "a lot" of mail only needing a request (signups in general, ticket systems, [...])? I never saw something like this (on my own or others systems), even when dealing with services equally easy to motivate into mailsending.
