McAfee SiteAdvisor equals spammers
I’m absolutely gobsmacked at McAfee SiteAdvisor. I was checking the feedback for one of my sites recently on there and noticed it has a ‘Email tests’ section.
After reading about it, I realised that what they basically do is send a bot to your website and auto fill any form they can fill with email addresses and fake subject/message (hello, chinese spammers!?).
They then base the spam score on the amount of emails they recieve a month from filling out that form and then how spammy their bot thinks the reply was. In this case it’s given a 50% spam score.
I had replied just once and I can see my email address sitting there as the reply. So I’ve wasted my time emailing back this person JUST IN CASE it was a legitmate email and then they have the cheek to call me an email spammer?
WHAT … THE … FUCK!
