I recently ( just before around 3-4 days) bought a domain name from namecheap with privacy protection. Assume that domain is example.com

There was an email on spam folder today.


From : domains@regsitesearch.com
Title : Domain Notification for EXAMPLE.COM : This is your Final
Notice of Domain Listing


How spammer found that example.com is a my website?

Note : Otherthan Google Webmaster tools and Analytics, I have not submitted my website for any other third party service.

Was the email sent to your email address or was it sent to generic@domain.com, which was then forwarded to your email address?

Many spammers will just hammer your domain with emails at any generic string they can think of, until they get hits.

Even with privacy protection I believe there is a small delay between the Whois Database and ICANN registration where someone's info is publicly available.

Spammers harvest that info as new registrations happen. Its common with all registrations of .com TLD's especially, regardless of registrars.

Irritating and highly discussed around the web, but unlikely to be resolved any time soon.
