Re:Errr...isn't this illegal?It doesn't appear to have any personal emails or anything - just spam for the spammers
But they discovered (and published!) at least one personal email!

The one interesting email...
They list one email as being particularly interesting, as copied below.
For me, the really intriguing bit is that they talk about "hosting" a lot, so much so that it appears to be a codeword for "spamming". Its a fairly obvious thing to do for someone who makes their money off spam - try to keep a low profile and not discuss their business openly.

Hi Martijn
Rick from Web Krew / Python gave me your contact regarding hosting.
Can you give me more information as to what hosting you can offer and the costs of your services ?
I look forward to hearing from you
Best Regards

Re:Errr...isn't this illegal?
They own the domain.Yes, but not the email that is sent to the domain.
The owner is the author of each email, and the mail is not intended for them.
I completely fail to see how on earth it could possibly be legal to not only set up the domain to receive mail for all (nonexisting) addresses (knowing you are going to receive far more than just *your* email) but also to publish said email on a website.

Re:Errr...isn't this illegal?
At least now you can link some people to the spamming. But then again, can somebody paying some company to spam be prosecuted?

Not in three days.
...what kind of mail does a major spammer receive in the course of three days? By now, we have a very precise answer: 6305 mails.
They are wrong. Look in the page linked:
