How to spammers fill their databases with email addresses? They usually buy them in bulk from companies that acquire them by other means. Other means can mean running search bots that crawl websites on the Internet to find new email addresses but also illegal methods like hacking into databases to retrieve all email addresses. You might be surprised that many legitimate businesses purchase email addresses for their marketing campaigns.
There might be white hat reasons for running a bot on a website to retrieve all the email messages found. A reason that comes to mind is to locate all emails that are posted on a public website to remove them from that website in order to protect the owner from spam.
Droid Email Seeker is one of the few free email extractors that are available for the Windows operating system. It can be used to quickly scan a website for email messages. It will begin crawling the website at the specified url and follow all inbound links that point to other pages on the same website. It will also ignore links pointing to other websites.
Another option of using the software is to let it search for keywords on Google and check the websites that turn up as results for email addresses. The number of sites can be specified. It is a little bit irritating that the process of scanning a website cannot be stopped from within the application. The only way is to terminate the program in Windows.
The email extractor software supports web proxies which it can verify. All email addresses that are found on the websites that are crawled will be added to a database. This email database can be exported as a csv file at any time. Droid Email Seeker requires the Microsoft .net Framework 2.0 to be installed on the computer system.
