SpamMailBag.com

I’m participating in a project started by HTRegz, a friend of mine. It is called SpamMailBag. What is its purpose? Well, I think HT explains it far better than I could:

I’d like to introduce my latest project… SpamMailBag.com. Here’s the plan:

Using domain/task specific email addresses, I will be signing up for various services, websites and posting on various forums. I’m also hoping to pull some favours and have some fellow bloggers do blog specific ones…. For example I will be setting up computerdefense.org@spammailbag.com. I would give other examples but that would negate the effort. All emails will automatically be posted to SpamMailBag.com.

What is the goal? Well, for me it’s simply a social project. I’m curious to see which services and websites requiring sign-ups sell your information and who they sell it to. I’m curious to see which blogs are harvested and which aren’t, I’m curious to see which forums are harvested. I may even ask users to create contacts for certain addresses in outlook and outlook express or maybe gmail or hotmail to see if those addresses end up elsewhere.

HT has already set up my email account, so here goes: j_k9@spammailbag.com

Come on, dear bots - you know you want to pick it up and spam it!

If you want to take part in the project, simple pop over to his site, register an account, and post a comment! I’m sure he’ll be more than glad to set an account up for you
