Mapname.com found a new way to identify spammers.
March 18, 2004 (Press Release) --
Mapname said that as a way to protect their personal email address from spammers, all their customers are able to set up individual email addresses for use when entering personal information at Web sites.
For example, if a customer wants to buy something at online store, he or she can do so using a different email address, such as name-of-the-online-store@his-personal-domain.com. Note that in the earlier days of the Internet, it was personal-name@online-store.com , now it is onilne-store@personal-name.com
Any message sent to that address is sent to the user's primary email account, but if the user notices lots of spam, Web parlance for unsolicited bulk email, he or she can delete the address and know exactly which company sold his or her personal information. These features are free with $7.25 per year domain name registration.
Mapname said its new feature would let users create a fictitious “base email address” and then unlimited community or company- oriented emails that they could give out when shopping, banking and joining communities online. It is very easy to create new email addresses, it takes seconds but can save you hours from sorting junk mail in your mailbox.
