I register all of my domains with privacy protection, yet I am receiving spam emails within 24hrs of registering them. Can someone please explain to me how the spammers know that a particular domain name has been registered? It is happening consistently, so I know they aren't just guessing...please see an example of the emails below. I am new to domaining, so I'd like to understand what information is public (if any) when registering a new domain name with privacy protection.
Here is the email I am receiving:
