SpammerScammer
Webpirate:
The service is not really setup for spammers. As the name says its a scammer spammer setup for the Nigerian scammers with scams like send your drivers license and $235 to [email protected] to have your $25 million dollars sent by ATM card. While some of the scammerspammer emails end up in the trash can a scammer afford to not check everyone, even the ones in the spam box? That's 3000 - 5000 emails to sort through in the hopes that one person sent his personal information. As I said before its not ment for emails like "check out our new Viagra" or "Canadian pharmacy"....
Also: I have to verify and approve every email address submitted because people were abusing the system, but I also increased the number of emails sent and change ipaddresses every 3 days

Are you the operator of this? I was curious and submitted one of my own emails as a test (generic yahoo account) and nothing resulted from it. Aka therefore a scammer with a yahoo account presumably wouldn't see anything either.

Okay, I resent my test. But only run it for a minute or two and turn it off again. All I wanted to see was the concept. I still need that email for other obscure uses. : )

I am surprised your datacenter allows this. Getting IPs isn't cheap, and getting them blacklisted leaves them unavailable for other clients to use.
Good to know though that there is some manual intervention to prevent abuse. Because I could see trolls blasting the emails of people they don't like with this thing, and other phenomena.
