What is the spintax for emails for catchall emails?

themalenurse

Hello. I just created a catchall email in one of my domains. Just a simple question, what is the spintax format for the email section so that it will create unlimited variants/email addresses to send to my catchall email?

Sven

just enter the real data and click on the "Catch All?" label.

Here is a slightly extended version of what @backlinkaddict   suggested. I added sub domains to the email

%spinfile-names.dat%{.|-|_}%spinfile-lnames.dat%{%random-1-100%|}@#random[A..Z,0..9].your-catch-all-domain.com

@royalmice but this subdomain also needs to be supported and added then I guess? I would love to have such thing in my server, but don't see how.

Sven

This is possible, but you also need to make sure that your server understands this subdomain setup. It's no thing you have by default.

 You need to create a wildcard subdomain like : *.yourdomain.com     the system will change it to /_wildcard_.yourdomain.com

Then you need to create a default address  where to forward all unrouted emails. 

What i used to do is use 1 domain  just to forward all the emails to and then all my other domains i want to use for the emails will redirect all unrouted emails to that 1 email account. That is better than having a default address on the same domain, so now i have say 30 domains set up with wildcard sub domain and catchall , and all these 30 will forward all unrouted to the 1 mail account.

Here is a sample what the import file would have looked like:

In the below sample , the  domain used for wildacrd emails was .get-bitcoins.club  and the email account where all the mail was forwarded to was  mail@blog-stuff.com and that is then where GSA connected to to retrieve the email

%spinfile-names.dat%{.|-|_}%spinfile-lnames.dat%{%random-1-100%|}@#random[A..Z,0..9].get-bitcoins.club:mail.blog-stuff.com:110:mail@blog-stuff.com:65465sad(&jt:0

I used to do it like that  five years ago , but i have not been using it lately as i have enought normal accounts, and prefer those over wildcard catchalls.

 PLEASE NOTE NONE OF THE DOMAINS IN ABOVE SAMPLE IS ACTIVE, AND THE PASSW IS JUST A RANDOM PASSW. SO HOPE SOME SMART ASS DONT TRY TO USE IT.

I believe the  key is not to only use emails from one provider, because it is possible that the mail server (smtp) ip  of that provider get blacklisted on stopforum spam or some other list, and then all his emails will be burned, because many host providers load the list of sites like Stopfourm  spam into Exim  mail software on cpanel or even sites like wordpress, joomla, and Drupal can install software to block comment or conatct form spammers -  for instance i use a service called https://cleantalk.org/  and if you are a spammer, or a contact form  blaster then you will have hard time getting thru to my contact forms or comment sections.

It is best to use a mix of emails, from several providers and then also get free  to create emails  such as hotmail, yahoo, and so on. Unfortunately Google changed there policy  recentely so creating bulk gmails is no no longer an option when you want to use app password.

But just use as many emails from as many providers as possible, including those from your own server.

Also, it's very likely that you don't get spammed from GSA SER anyways because some of the engine scripts have the "URL must have" parameter and engines scripts are set like this. . .    

url must have=!asiavirtualsolutions

Could you please elaborate on what you mean here? I am not sure I understand.
I am aware of a "URL Must Have"  in the Tier filter option when creating multiple tiers, but I don't know where else this option is.

@backlinkaddict

Oh, ok, now I understand. I'm not sure why that is there.
Thanks

Sven

That one was added because there ones where sublinks with footprints on it and then it accepted that as a target.
