I have my own domain name with a catch all on it, this way when I give my email address I can use *companyname*@domain.com. This morning I had some advertising email from Xendurance UK via a mass mailing company to the address bonthrone@domain.com.

Has anyone else had spam mail from this company this morning and if so does it annoy you up as much as me?

    thats the problem with catch alls

    networks will always have postmaster@.... or webmaster@...... admin@......

    spam bots always send to these addresses

    Yeah, they get filtered out by Google. This email was specifically sent to bonthrone@domain.com - I have only ever given that email address when ordering from Bonthrone Bikes. Initial annoyance is over now and this is reduced to a irritation level. It's still a PITA getting all this spam rubbish.

    like you I have a specific email for each company i deal with online. So its a bit concerning when I get identical spam from thetimes@mydomain.co.uk and travelodge@mydomain.co.uk, two companies I though would have the security in place to avoid their databases being plundered. Suffice to say neither has responded to my emails of complaint... :(
