I meant is there a way for me to tell.


I have people trying to spam my website. I have figured out how to tell if some e mail addresses are fakes.

However, now they seem to be trying a different strategy. Can one know if an e mail is a fake e mail trying to be used for purposes such as this?

Thanks!

If you write the e mail back and it returns to you as not able to be delivered, will that tell you?

Perhaps in the future you should wait till they post to delete them. And test the e-mail in the interim.

It could tell you a few things. Their inbox is full, they are on vaca or their server is acting up. Or they put a block on your address...Aim keeps returning e mails and they are legit address`s.

Combined with a suspicious looking e-mail address (something random looking), I would say the odds are it's fake, especially if the message is that no such e-mail exists. Full mailboxes will usually say the mailbox is full. You have to read the returned message. But it could be server and other issues as Juni said.

Guess what? I found an e mail verifier. You put the e mail in and it tells you if it is OK.

Thanks Juni
I was thinking that getting the e mail sent back would not be the best way to figure it out

Ugh. The nerve of that website to say my email address of 10 yrs, is "bad" !. Is it because I have so much spam mail on my inbox? Wth

Yet I typed in my new gmail email which I only use to send things to myself, and to my school. And it says that one is a "good" one,

Let us know if your new one starts getting a lot of spam (or a lot of "undeliverable" messages of email you never actually sent) now.

And as for the old one, if it gets a lot of spam then it's quite possible that it gets spoofed a lot to spam and gained a "bad rep" that way.

Well damn. now I feel really stupid for typing in my new email there... Hadn't thought about the possible consequences.. I'll let you guys know if any suspicious activity starts to happen.

Wanted to bump this to tell you that this thing is so fantastic. I have people with bad e mails trying to get on my site all the time like 3-4 a day.

My web designer said that people can take over your site by re-directing traffic and just general spamming, too.

I put every e mail into this and feel more secure.

With LL, you would be too busy to put 100's of e mails in but still it is good to know.

You know what is totally weird. You can't really tell if the e mail is bad, just from the address. There are some guidelines but they don't seem to work. You need to verify it.

This is so funny. I was deleting all these people who registered because I thought all these e mails were fake

No, many of the people were from Russia or China where they have weird e mails
