My concern is not just with the legality of posting emails public in this manner but spam control. You are bound to get spam and you can filter it but some are going to get through. Let's say you have so many emails come in that it makes it tough to weed through and delete spam.

In that sense your website could become associated with spam and become black listed at search engines and possibly your email account.

And once a spammer(s) realizes what you are doing (allowing emails to be published automatically, live) they will have a field day.

OK, so first it needs to be de-spammed, and then it needs to be converted into JPG files so it can't be read by bots.

Thanks for the insight ;-)

ok, so by "de spamming" it, you are now choosing which emails to post. This action re-affirms your intentional "harm" towards the TM holder.

Brilliant!

Well, gmail shall de-spam it then. I wouldn't take any active part in the de-spamming act. And a little spam-leftover wouldn't do any harm, right? It's authentic. We just want to prevent to have 99% spam and 1% real mails.

You don't really want to keep this domain, do you?

Why would you care about this company anyway..? If they don't get those emails, it's not your problem.

If they would really want the emails they're not getting now - they should buy your domain, or instruct people to send them to the right addresses.
