Re: ARIN email address (was cogent spamming directly from ARIN records?)

this sort of thing (provider X scrapes Y and mails Z for sales leads)
every ~18 months.
the same outrage and conversation happens every time.
the same protection mechanisms are noted every time.

Is there a reason that: "killfileand move on" is not the answer
everytime for this?
(why do we need to keep rediscussing it)

I believe they got the contact information from ARIN

I'd suggest everyone use an alias unique to ARIN for your POC and/or public
email.  Makes it super simple to verify where it was sourced from.

(and yes I've got the same spam)
