[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
In order to be able to send messages to this mailing list,
the spammer above had to subscribe. To subscribe means that
he had to respond to an email that was sent to the subscription
address. Since his email address does not exist, I'm wondering
how he managed to pull this off. Any ideas?
I have unsubscribed every account from "paypal.com" and "ebay.com".
All such accounts were of the form "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", etc. There were 7 such accounts.
I would start by putting a filter in front of the list that won't accept
anything with @paypal.com or @ebay.com, not just at signup time but when
the messages are received.
As to how he pulled it off, there's probably an auto-responder on those
addresses.
