Morning guys!
So I found an affiliate campaign that pays pretty good, with $2,50 per lead from the US. I'm trying to code a bot that automatically visits the page and creates an account. However, I ran across this problem:
As the leads are only valid when you click the activation link they send you in an email, I figured I couldn't fill in some random email addresses as I would have to open them myself to click the activation link. So I came up with this solution:
Gmail has a weird feature that emails send to yourname+[RANDOM NUMBER HERE]@gmail.com all get delivered to [email protected]. So you just add a plus and a random number after yourname. I tried using this knowledge, by writing a script that fills in a certain email address I made for this bot + a random number.
Genius right? Well... no: the PPL site I use doesn't allow me to put the "+" symbol in my email address.
I was wondering if any of you had a solution, either a way to get around the restriction of the "+" symbol or another way to make sure I can click all the activation links in the emails.
Thanks hugely in advance for your help!
