There's an attendee lis= t, but that list doesn't have e-mail addresses. It didn't come from the mai= ling list. The person looked up who went to the conference and then found t= heir e-mail address elsewhere. I also don't think the above is wrong in any= way and people should just get on with their lives. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: tim@pelican.org To: "NANOG" <nanog@nanog.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2017 8:37:09 AM Subject: Re: Vendors spamming NANOG attendees On Tuesday, 20 June, 2017 14:26, "Rod Beck" <rod.beck@unitedcablecompany.co= m> said: > And how do you tell if an address was scraped or not?

Depending on whether you're registered with personal or corporate email, an= d how much control you have over the platform in question, you can distingu= ish the source with fairly high reliability. Just generate a new 'bob+nanog= 70@bobsdomain.org' style address for every event you register for, every we= bsite that requires a contact address, every mailing list, ... If you're concerned that people will twig, and use the naked 'bob@' address= , you could work with multiple names including a hash that look like intern= al nonsense, e.g. 'bob34adf@', or block the un-plussed 'bob@' entirely and = use e.g. 'robert@' for people you trust to have your real, non-circumstance= -specific email address. I know people who do this, it really depends how much you care about being = able to trace and block people who are either scraping or re-selling your d= etails. Regards, Tim.
