Exclamation I just stumbled on a list of thousands of email addresses...

Hey all,

I don't know if these are real or not; some may be, some may not be; but I DO know that a couple email addresses from my domains are there, and this might be where I'm getting some spam from!

After exploring a little more, I've discovered at least 25 lists with hundreds; maybe thousands of emails in them... pretty crazy. Now the ones at my domain aren't necesarily real, but I filter all emails to my main account, so I still get the spam.

It's not linked to on the site as I can see, but www.am-best.com is where the list is. You can find the one where my domain is at... on this list: http://www.am-best.com/honeypot/honey015.htm

I've been up to honey025.htm - and there may be more.

What are these emails for? They could be used to be sending spam... anything we can do about this?

-Matt
(Btw, thanks to iWEBTOOL's backlink checker for finding this!)

After some more indepth looking I've found at least 70,000 email addresses there.

Would reporting it to the registrar do any good? Where should I report this to?

Thanks,
-Matt
