Experiment With A Certain Email Account

I have a Y_____ email account I use for ezines and
chat. Back a while I noticed, as I expect many did,
I had to enter this stupid code to send out mailings.
The purpose of the code is to cut down spamming, but
what it really does is interfere with legitimate
users using the address they secured for their pur-
pose. It doesn’t restrain spammers at all, but gett-
ing Y______ to understand this is pretty much the
same as pouring a cup of water into a well – all you
can tell you have is a little more water. There is no
need to contact Y______ about the problem, all you’ll
get is an electronically generated letter asking you
to fill out a form – over and over and over.

After a few weeks of being brain warped by the necess-
ity of using the code to respond or forward emails, I
have decided to try an experiment on Y______. This is
what I’m doing and I will be posting the results here.
I opened up a dummy account especially for the experi-
ment. The only thing I will be doing is monitoring the
address every day to see what happens. I will not be
mailing from the address, or receiving replies from
anyone I’m corresponding with. My only purpose for this
account is to see how long it will take a spammer to get
their spam mail to me. As of this posting, the address
has already been set up and waiting.
