Email Flooding

[Arch4ngel]

My ISP allow me to change my email address right online.

 

My last email address was receiving 500 spam per day... so I warned all my friend and taked note of all "subscription" to website I would like to keep (GameSpot, Code Project, etc...) and I switched it to a new one.

 

No more spam... and everything work. Nice no ?

 

I haven't received any spam since... 6 month... at least !!!!

These spoofed address' are easy to beat...don't know if hotmail will allow you to do this, but in the IP header information is the IP address from which the mail generates. They can spoof the email address all they want, but the IP address will be the same; block that IP address and you'll never have that problem again, at least from that sender. I have about 45 IP's blocked on our exchange server at work... our spam is at an all time low.... previously they were blocking the from address and had a list that went on for days (because they were spoofed). Also a lot of ISP's are willing to work with you when you have there IP address because they have there own filters set up (that they don't tell you about) to try and catch some of it for you. When you can send them the IP's rather than the email address, they can actually add the IP to their list and then it will never reach you. Almost every ISP I've dealt with allows you to report spam, and if you give them the IP, they are rather quick about blocking it at their servers. IP's can be spoofed too, but it takes a little more initiative and talent than 90% of these kids who do this crap are capable of doing.
