Do not spam list

Matt Cutts, me and my friends are all on a do not spam list, by one guy who’s writing a blog on black hat techniques.

And no, I won’t link to it here.

But it’s wild to see spammers keep a do not spam list…

    Black lists (aka “do not spam lists” in your terminology) was known to involved persons from the early smtp spam days. Far before the whole industry was criminalized by US (that haven’t kill it, btw). I suggest you to look at p2p spam industry to find really new things!

    Wow, I gotta get me on one of those. :)

    For those who can’t get onto do-no-spam lists, may I suggest our new Mail Filter service at www.mail-filter.com. We launched in December 2005, and early feedback from our first 400 users is very positive. We offer a combination of disposable email addresses, inbox cleaning and user-defined mail filters. It sounds complicated but it’s actually very simple!

    This isn’t about mail spam. And frankly, I don’t believe in your solution for mail spam anyway. I’m a SpamAssassin fan myself.

    @Mister Sam King (I assumed the “p” was a typo, so I took the liberty to omit it)
    I doubt spamming people who do know how to block it has something of a clever strategy, as your spam is almost certainly not reaching the surface, thus no one there to click on or index it. So it’s just a waste of resources that could be used anywhere else much more effective. In other, simpler words: you’re not quite earning as much money as you could with a different strategy. But I reckon you’re just a troll anyway :-)

    @Ann Elisabeth
    I think you should honour that Mister Hudchinson was posting under his real name and was halfways at pains to stay ontopic (”spam”) with his advertisement break :-) . Sometimes slight inaccuracies are unavoidable if you have to go through a huge Technorati listing related to spam and place your message anywhere before the day is done ;-)

    I once was visited by such a guy, too. He tried to convince me of using one of his antispam scripts he wrote rather than sticking to .htaccess, as this would consume muuuch less resources and would be muuuch faster. Although this was a great amusement at the right time (having had a bad day so far) I decided to shred this message nonetheless, so I could focus on my work again (instead of having continuous bursts of laughter) ;-)

    Spammers have do not spam lists. These are the people who they dont spam because they complain the most and cause the most grief.

    If you know of any global remove-lists, you could post links to them. I’d be glad to post my spamtraps in there.

  11. Administrator Says:

    I got just as much spam after I posted my domains (not e-mail addresses, just domains) on one such do not spam list.

    I haven’t taken opt out lists seriously. I just naturally assumed you’d get a boatload of spam if you posted your address to any such list.

  12. relapse Says:

    I’d use a separate (spamtrap) address for posting to these lists. I don’t really have anti-abuse ‘ties’ to pursue these spammers, but at least I’d feed my Bayesian database and see if my rules (from SARE and few written by me) would catch them all.

    John C. A. Bambenek added my name to a do not spam list because I asked him to add my byline back to an article of mine that he published.
