Silly spammer "revenge". When you report spam in ways that it actually does something, some spammers get cranky about that and:

- Use a domain that is about to expire
- Use google mail for that domain
- set up a reflector e-mail address on that domain
- Run a script that spams hundreds of support systems of innocent websites
- Redirect the replies to those support tickets to my email address via google mail

Silly, but it seems to make the spammers happy.

Some addresses they use:

- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]
- [email protected]

You can clearly see how it's just a frustrated guy hammering his keyboard to create these email addresses :)

The one thing they all have in common is that these about-to-expire domains are registered via gname.com from Singapore.

How do I know this is connected to my spam reporting? Simple. The reporting email address I use when reporting spam is different per report. So when I get these redirected replies, I know exactly to which report it belongs ;)

@jwildeboer "[…] it seems to make the [..] happy." 👀 Well, isn't that quite a common reaction of some kind of people nowadays, when forced to face any sort of contradiction?
