I signed up for Private Domain Registration, but I'm still receiving spam. Why?

Private Domain Registration allows you to shield your personal information from unwanted solicitors by listing Yahoo!'s partner Melbourne IT as the contact for your domain in the public WHOIS database. With Private Domain Registration, spammers and other third parties will be unable to mine the WHOIS database for your personal contact information.

Unfortunately, spammers continue to devise new ways of collecting email addresses, postal addresses, and phone numbers for their campaigns. Although Private Domain Registration may represent a strong tool in your antispam arsenal, no tool has been proven to eliminate all spam and other unsolicited communications. Learn more about what you can do to protect yourself from spam.
