I guess they will also use the support forms to try to subscribe me to whatever marketing stuff from there.

So I look forward to interesting messages from Bavarian restaurants, Austrian doctors and swiss lawyers :)

So I guess for the next few days you can send an e-mail to [email protected] and it will reach me ;)

@jwildeboer @homelab Free E-Mail alias 🙂 Some people pay money for that 😂

@jwildeboer I didn't report any spamming, still one of our email addresses started receiving all those autoresponders directed at
[email protected]
I saw that this domain shall expire at the end of the month; hopefully theses emails will stop soon after!?

@Tatone Yep, they will. And then they will set up these forwarders again on another domain that will soon expire. And the next one. And the next one.

@jwildeboer

ooooooh, so that's what's happening with one of my email addresses!

@jwildeboer It's probably not related to you reporting them. Most often I'm too lazy to do that and I still get the same kind of spam recently.

@julian I tracked deep enough to make the connections between reports I made, the sending domains of that spam, the domains used for these support tickets etc. I am 90+% confident it is more causation than correlation.

@julian But I also wanted to document in the open how these support ticket spams work. Regardless of the why. The forwarding address is in all cases a google account, so it comes in via google mail servers. I report these domains to google and that's all I can do. The spammers know that Google typically doesn't care, especially when the domains used expire in a few days/a week.

@jwildeboer Google Account as in Gmail? I'm getting lots of spam forwarded through Google Groups (maybe I should just start filtering that).

@julian As in that spam domain uses Google mail services, as you can see when looking up the MX entry in the DNS of said domain.

@jwildeboer @homelab That is sad indeed. One email address per service might be good to avoid the problem and just shut that one down but... scary to organise , right?
Why can one not set up email with a key system so if sender does not have the public key it goes into spam?

@jwildeboer so you assume they do this out of pure revenge? I had this in the past and wondered what was happening. But I never reported anything, I think 🤔

@heine I've been in the business of spam fighting since more than 20 years. Yes, this is how they act. Childish shit to annoy people like me.
