    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 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.

        Again, probably not going to be as effective if you do something that can very easily be noticed and filtered out. They’re not going to try to translate the Spanish just in case it’s an earnest report, they’re just gonna delete it and move on. An effective fake report should force them to waste actual resource on investigating it.

            Again, not really the point of sending fake reports. They’d just see the Spanish, delete it, and move on. The point is to give them something they’ll see, want to read, and want to spend as much time interacting with as possible.

              I’m not here to help you fix your country. I just stare in disbelief and cope with bad humor. They’d delete my German StaSi letter anyway.

        No they can block a temp domain.

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

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