Default Just-dial spam

Andrew Paul Landells writes

I've just been spammed (e-mail) from just-dial, advertising call-through
numbers for international calls. Given that it's phone-related and I've
received it within a couple of hours of posting to uktm, I've got a
suspicion that I know where they got my address from.


21 of the buggers (and counting). All addressed to [random letters]@[my
domain].

(See my earlier post )

Okay, maybe I should munge my e-mail address, or file abuse reports... Anyway
I just wanted to report it here, and advise against using a company using
such techniques to advertise.


As there's a link (albeit obfuscated) in the spam to;
https://www.just-dial.com/agents/my_...bers.asp#index

.... I suspect that it may be the work of an agent rather than Just Dial
directly. (The spam came from a clara.net account, Just Dial is hosted
by uu.net)

I have complained to Just Dial, hopefully they will take action.

Most of them bounced off my SMTP server - which only accepts email for
known local parts and bounces the rest (about 23 copies addressed to
garbage local parts were bounced in less than a second). Those handful
that didn't bounce were disposed of by SpamAssassin.
