I don't know I haven't really probed random contact forms to see if they block this kind of thing.

There's a lot more to do to block this kind of proxy spam entirely for sure I was just talking about the particular problem of using the contact for to send to an mailing list.

It's definitely evil genius stuff.

I'm sure enough organizations have a mailing list called "customers@company" or "clients@company" to make it worth a shot. Colleges probably have "students@school" or "faculty@school" list.

Might be enough names you can profitably do it by hand.
