The list washers / validators must be doing a brisk business today. Many use Amazon hosting in what seems to be an attempt to evade blocking by IP. Aside from the simple attempts I see some that are trying things like:

j...@domain.tld
john....@domain.tld
jon....@domain.tld
john-...@domain.tld
jonathon...@domain.tld
j...@domain.tld

and things even more obscure like

j...@domain.tld
j...@domain.tld

with up to 50 various permutations / combinations.

It seems somebody gave some fairly purposeful thought into coming up with the algorithms to generate these. I'm curious to know what peoples thinking is as to the hat color of these attempts. Particularly if there are any opinions on the risk / need to block them.
