From time to time we get a cluster of connections from different hosts
as showb below. All within a few minutes and from different geo locations.
They all probe same non-existing recepient. come one who would have a n email address that starts with "a1aaa1azzzz1zaaaaa"?
My question to experts in this forum...What does this mean? what is the purpose? or how does it help spammers.
My take is that it is so simple to notice it... doesn't that a weekness?
Mush appreciated any reply. Thanks
Atlas
and how
