WHO is using our addresses???

Postby End User » Fri Feb 21, 2014 6:19 am

For some time now it is noticed in the 'eaten messages' list there are listed eaten emails that are using our addresses (the part before the "@") and their address (after the "@"). Some of the addresses of the part after the "@" are:
flipnet.nl
invoiceware-mexico.com
spearfront.com


We have never sent mail to or visited any of these addresses. What is the meaning of this? It would seem the SpamGourmet user list has been compromised. Is this true or not? If not how could anyone know our addresses? The above three examples all used different addresses of ours in the 'before' section.

Thank you

can you post or PM me an example? Certain spammers have created their own disposable addresses by collecting sg usernames before.

If the db ever gets compromised, we're expecting the list of *actual* email addresses to start getting spammed, not the list of disposable addresses. We maintain a couple of test forwarding addresses for that purpose - so far, no mail.
