As part of a large-scale privacy investigation, I have bought more than 100 domain names previously belonging to social welfare and justice institutions in Belgium. What I observed was unsettling.
I think you are a bit confused about the E-mail structure.
Everything behind the @ is the domain, on your case “domain.com”
Before the @ is just a name that can be used as you, the domain owner, wants.
If you want to redirect all mail to yourname@domain.com, that’s very easy to do AND you can still see the original e-mail address these nails were sent to.
So I assume for example Dropbox sent some commercial mail about current offers. Using that, he knew the old account and that it was signed up to Dropbox
If you want to redirect all mail to yourname@domain.com, that’s very easy to do AND you can still see the original e-mail address these nails were sent to.
And it’s a great way to see who’s leaking your email to spammers…
