Email In Image Dont Stop Harvesting?

I just put a page up on a domain which is obscure with no traffic, no index and with no inlinks and i put my new email in an image form, the email was on that domain.

next thing, i get a spam to that email. how did the spam read the email address from the image?

They didn't read it.

They auto generate a list for your domain with the most used words (like admin, webmaster, info, contact)

the best way is to use javascript to delay displaying the image until 1 sec (heck even 1ms) after the page has fully loaded. Of course the script has to pull the email address from a local file/database or else the email would be vivible in the javascript code....

Yep. Next step: automated crap words ending in @yourdomain being used as "reply to:" email. Getting those spoof spam bounces is a bitch

Actually there is some software in the spam market to read emails from images but its almost always wrong and very slow so they likely did a directory attack on your mail server to capture valid emails.

I have several domains without any configured email adress that are just registered and not hosted anywhere and I get loads of spam for them. It's sad, but a mail adress in your domain contact information is already enough to start this shit
