    Does any one use CraigsList by replying to existing ads?? Have you noticed the new domain blocking?? Blocking E-mails that have a certain domain in the message?? It looks like yesterday CraigsList added automatic blocking if you send out XX E-mails with the same domain in the message, even if the sub-domain is different. I'm still trying to figure out how many E-mails it takes and how long they are blocked. I made up URLS, and send E-Mails to an E-Mail address of post I got there and got...

    w4m*freenow1337.com - 78 E-Mails sent - 57 not blocked.
    www*freenow1337.com - 61 sent - 29 not blocked
    w5m*freenow1337.com - 1 sent, was blocked *So much for the sub-domain trick!!*
    w4m*freenow1337.org - 146 sent, 96 not blocked.

    Any one else experiencing this? Know any way around it other than registering 50 different domains? Any one know how long the domain is blocked in the E-Mail. In the past a domain was blocked way less and it was eventually unblocked.

    just use an old domain and 301 redirect it to the page you want it to go to. It seems they've taken notice of either your email provider or your domain name.

    About time, I hate all the spam you get when you post an ad

    Sometimes, those spams are believable especially when they say "Hey, I saw your ad about (name of item)..."

    Almost fell for one :/
