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! ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

If you write the e mail back and it returns to you as not able to be delivered, will that tell you?------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

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

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. ------------------ Christian, Jew, Muslim, Shaman, Zoroastrian, stone, ground, mountain, river, each has a secret way of being with the Mystery, unique and not to be judged.

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.IP: Logged |

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 ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire. Check out my journal http://www.mychristianpsychic.com/

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? WthYet 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, IP: Logged |

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. IP: Logged |

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. ------------------ Passion, Lust, Desire.

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.
