I got this "Domain Name News" from ezinames, loaded with banners to their 5.95 scam iregistrations/ezinames domains or useless site submit. I never subscribed or used their service. Anyone else get this?



Top level domain .eu not far off

The newest top level domain .eu is slowly moving forward towards introduction sometime in late 2004. .eu is a new top level domain designed for use by residents and businesses in EU member states and will be the first domain space that is not purely generic, like .com, and not specific to a single country, like .uk more >>

I received that this morning. They must be digging through whois emails because that is my address they sent it to.

[Disgruntled]

Eznames.com is hosted by theplanet.com
Has the spam been forwarded to abuse@theplanet.com ?

[eSology]

IP and domain from the headers point back to here ****.ipcolo1.Chicago1.Level3.net. and then RDNS fails.

[dmaven]

I sent it to spam cop. They sent it to an email address I only use for whois on domains so I know they were harvesting public whois. What sc@mbags they are.

[Disgruntled]

I usually report spammers on two levels. There is the IP found from the DNS in the headers, where the spam was sent from. There is the principal who hired the spammer, whose webpage is shown in the spam. It often violates the IP's AUP to have a third party spamvertise the site. Actually for porno spam the webpage in the spam is normally just another layer of agency--a throwaway site to link to the principal offenders. Usually the principal offenders who spamvertise that way pay handsomely for bullet-proof hosting of those sites as long as they maintain that extra layer of separation of their websites from the spam.

[dmaven]

I am assuming they sent this out directly vs a third party service.

Update for those interested

I have been getting the same email nearly twice a week. Even reporting to spamcop does not help.

These people are a joke
