Well, hopefully I can spring a few trapdoors

Post #10,643 by wharris2 9/27/01 2:31:09 AM Reply	Well, hopefully I can spring a few trapdoors Now that you mention it, I checked my ezboard profile and saw that I had the "publicize Email address" option checked. (clicking it off.) Before I start prowling, though, I am going to wait a little while to see if Microsoft themselves spams me... Hmmm, another plausible hypothesis is that now that Google is back with dejanews postings, spamsters might be trying to harvest from old newsgroup postings. Wonder if Google has antispam measures in place? Rest in peace, Jeremy, Mark, Thomas, and whoever else who helped overpower the hijackers on Flight 93.

I usually use a Hotmail or Yahoo mail address if I do, so that the "Bulk/Junk" folder can get the spam and all I do is "Empty Folder" every once in a while. orion_blastar@hotmail.com Now let's see if the Spammers send to that account. It is a realtively new one with 0% spam at the momment. I haven't posted it anywhere yet. So this is an experiment to see if someone is really harvesting IWETHEY accounts? *Picking up the pieces of my broken life.*

The worry was that it was somehow being harvested from the profiles...which are not accessible to the public at large.
