Everytime I sign up for anything online I first create and email alias
something like supplier-didx at mydomain.com

I do that mostly because I had strong suspicions a few years ago that my
email address was sold by a vendor. This way if I get 3rd party spam
addressed to supplier-* addresses I will know who the offender is. It
also helps protect me from situations like this one with didx.

I have sent this to trendmicro.com sales reps many times this year:

"John is no longer here.The mailbox is still up in order to receive

customer messages. Please stop sending mail to this domain."

You would think a company that pretends to be such computer security
wizards would not want clueless windows noobtard losers using outlook
for mailing lists in the sales department.
