i just saw a mail account on a mailing list as xyzpork.gmail.com
Any guess what is all about |
Spam is spiced ham, which is of course a pork product... |
but how come can anyone have a fake address added on a mailing list where you need to activate your membership by accepting the link in email??
How can someone send mail using a fake address to mailing list which does not accept non-members mails??
Its not only the reply-to address but the same is everywhere in the headers... |
Oh i see what you're saying...
now i'm really not sure what it could be |

Maybe Google hands this out as working but ignored email address to catch spam, e.g. to post in public groups, as Ionut shows? |
I agree with ionut and philipp, proactive spam baiting. |
