Hi everyone,

I've started receiving spam to my domains contact information. I was wondering what ideas you may have to avoid this.

How about........ adding DONOTSPAM or NOSPAM to the email address such as NOSPAMjessica@mydomain.com? Would this be OK? I know we have to provide a truthful email address at least in the Registrant contact field.

Please share your thoughts here. :)

Thank you!

Jessica

Well, this is not an easy task...

I suggest you set-up a different mailbox (that you do not check that often)... spam/virus protection for this account a big plus.. but you will still get the spam...

Only problem is, when you want to perform any confirmations to changes etc of your domain record, the info should be real.
