Re: OT: address harvesting, was Re: Replacement transmission
 

Sorry, it's just not been my experience. I suggest the addresses
you've tested are the freebies like Hotmail. My Son-in-law recently
applied for an Hotmail address and I was hit hard for a couple weeks
from that.

Re: OT: address harvesting, was Re: Replacement transmission
 

Nope, I tested with a domain that I registered myself and hosted myself.
Usenet harvesting was the only possible source. Only took a 2 days to
start hitting me and that was a few years ago before spamming got so
ferocious.

Well you can see I use my addresses in the news groups, and when I
get spammed the header looks like this and rather obvious how they got
it:
