Minor Case Study - Using Emails from Own Domain to Register/Verify Accounts

Registering a ton of emails is a huge pain in the ass, especially for Gmail and other major email sites that have decent spam filters.

Maybe I'm late to the party, since this seems fairly obvious in retrospect, but it turns out that registering like a million email addresses on any random host for any domain name that you have is good enough for a lot of spam filters. Making accounts on your own server/domain is super easy since there's no spam filter to get around on email creation since you're hosting the emails on your own server.

Manage the emails through an open source email platform like RoundCube or SquirrelMail. Most (decent) hosts (hostgator/bluehost/dreamhost/whatever) have a way to use these types of open source email platforms to access emails hosted on your own domain without you even having to set anything up.

Way faster and easier to make in bulk than Gmail or whatever.

Anyway, the actual point of this post - I made a bunch of @randomdomainihappentoown.com emails and attempted to post a bunch of reviews on a few different review platforms (Sitejabber/Glassdoor) and they all seemed to be accepted/pass the spam filter. I did also use a proxy when doing this, but the point is that @randomdomainthatyouhappentohave.com email addresses don't seem to be a red flag for a lot of spam filters.

Probably needs more testing to say anything more definitive, but seems to basically work at least for some things.

Can confirm this works for initial stuff.

Pro tip - create a catch all so you can do [email protected] and it will arrive in [email protected] saves you a ton of time.

Also, this makes your accounts stupidly easily linked so I wouldn't do this for anything you want to last a long time. You will eventually get linked on any platform with decent security.

Oh yeah, for sure. I definitely wouldn't try bulk using accounts all from the same domain for something like Yelp or other sites known for having decent spam filters.
