Well, now, _this_ is interesting.
I think this is the first time since I started using #Addy everywhere that one of my anonymized addresses has caught somebody doing something "iffy".
#RCN, my internet service provider, gave my email address to a market-research firm, which sent me a completely generic invitation to take an "important survey about your internet service provider" without acknowledging that the survey was paid for by RCN.
This is kind of gross.
#marketing #astroturf

Email with the subject line "Tell us about your experience with your internet service provider", with a block at the top indicating that it was routed through the Addy email forwarding service via an email address described as "rcn.com / astound.com", with this text:

Hello,

You are being invited to participate in an important survey about your internet service provider. We truly value your input and hope that you will consider participating. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, on average; however, you may take as much time as you would like.

We are not trying to sell you anything and you will not be sent solicitations or future mailings of any kind due to your participation.

Your experience, opinions, and insights will help us understand how internet service providers can better serve customers like you.

To get started, please click on the following link (Do not modify link as it will disqualify you):

Thank you in advance for taking the time to provide your feedback.

This survey is being conducted by Horowitz Research.

trying out addy.io for email aliasing. so i created my account and i got this page. the first two, i get, but the third one? i mean, i won't because why would i, it's kind of the whole point of a service like that but... that's weird to point out, no? like, my first instinct when i read this is: "it's my emails, i'll do whatever the fuck i want!"

this was not something i had in my mind at all, why are you planting seeds of malice and doubts in me #addy? now i'm feeling extra mischievous and i kinda want to do it. :neofox_floof_devil:

...no but seriously though, why does this matter so much?

screenshot from addy.io, with texts on it. it reads:

"- No Mass Signups
    Do not use addy.io to create or link large numbers of accounts on other websites or services 

- No Multiple Free Accounts
    Do not create multiple free accounts as this is not considered an acceptable use of the service 

-No Marking Emails as Spam
    Do not mark emails forwarded to you by addy.io as spam"

I just released a new @thunderbird add-on which integrates Addy.io (a.k.a. AnonAddy) directly into the Thunderbird message compose window.
Now when you're writing an email in Thunderbird and you don't want to let the recipients see your real email address, you can easily route the email through Addy to keep it private.
Share and enjoy!

I'm going to create a wiki which let people to report and share the website which block the #addy (#anonaddy) .

Are there any suggestion about the wiki hosting service?
(I am not going to host it myself)

I plan to use the github-wiki, since everyone has a github account(?), and maybe create a google form or something allow guest report website anonymous.

有人有推薦的 wiki 托管服務嗎?
想弄一個基本的讓人可以看到哪些網站已經禁止用 #addy 郵件地址的 wiki。

For some reason, I could not register an account on addy.io/ using my phone. But on my desktop computer I was able to register an account with no issues.

#addy

Addy.io is anonymous email forwarding. It is a free or paid service that protects your real email address using email aliases.

And Addy.io is open source!
