This will all get filtered out pretty quickly. The best way to hit this is with very authentic looking email. Wasting their time is the best recourse.

I think you just found a great use for a LLM chat bot. That and a temp email service.

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 0 points 1 month ago

No they can block a temp domain.

If they block say gmail or outlook they would block millions of people.

[-] lordnikon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah good point so more temp email account on yahoo or Gmail or outlook. So they can't just block that email

I know from personal experience that signing up an email address at huge numbers of random online retailers becomes very annoying very quickly.

Definitely don't do that with DEIAtruth@opm.gov.

That's trivial to filter out at the server level though. Might waste a few minutes of time, but a competent admin would barely be annoyed.

That assumes both competency and an admin that actually wants to effectively accomplish things. The people up top want this stupid shit, the people in the trenches generally either don't give a fuck or don't want this either.

Huge amounts of spam can just be cover for sandbagging if nothing else.

“Competent”

They're most likely only looking for email from other dot-gov addresses.

[-] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

I don't think they are that bright.
