[tor-relays] Spam

[cbritt at hush.com]

I was receiving some spam after a couple weeks so I changed it to
"user at domain dot com" e.g. cbritt at hush dot com

It seems to have solved the problem. I think I remember reading
somewhere that newer versions automatically reformat email addresses
to combat the aforementioned spam issue.

Hopefully that helps!

well having run a relay for just under 2 weeks, I've got my first spam
on this email address. As you will no doubt have guessed, this is not
my usual email address, it is only used for the Tor relay contact
details, this email list and a very few other projects that will not
have published my email address anywhere.

So I guess that this spam is as a result of my email address appearing
on Atlas or Globe or similar as a result of it being the contact
address for my Tor relay.

I know this possibility is mentioned in the Tor documentation; I read
it somewhere. I guess there's not much to be done about it; I wouldn't
want to remove contact details - the address is already in the public
domain anyway, and I want to be contactable with any problems. I guess
I just have to use the standard spam filtering and combating measures.

Could those with experience of running a relay for longer, please
advise if this will become a major problem? Will spam increase
substantially? Also, any suggestions very gratefully received.

Thank you!
