When you have your own domain, you can set up mailboxes on it. Since I own MoreLightMoreLight, I’ve been using it to track spam sources and have been lucky to not get any spam until today. Any time I can avoid giving someone my email address for a signup, I do. If I can’t, I just give them their domain name @ MoreLightMoreLight. That way if they get scraped for spam I can kill that particular service and email address.
I signed up for the Ziki social network because they allow openid logins and it’s supposed to be the next linkedin. I’m not very impressed. Servers are slow, nothing seems to be responsive, and they got scraped for my first spam ever. I’m elated and unhappy at the same time!
Spam is after the jump
