I think can change the numeral after ‘mail’ and at the end, and perhaps even the text inbetween.<br>
<br>
Does anyone understand what’s happening here and how I can stop these? Or are these maybe spoofed email addresses?<br>
<br>
And it seems to me that ‘mail3’ ought to be a registered domain, with the others being sub-domains. But there seem to be a lot of different mail3.* email addresses. Am I missing somethng here?<br>
<br>
<a href="http://mail3.fr" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mail3.fr</a> is for sale (in French); <a href="http://mail3.com" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mail3.com</a> is forsale, acc to GoDaddy. <a href="http://mail3.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">mail3.org</a> is a baseball league site. <br>
<br>
??<br>
<br>
Is mail3 some generic email address that might also on some occasion send me valid mail? Or can I safely go to my mail server and blacklist mail3.*?<br>
