The page I'm working on is still "beta". When finished, the email
addresses generated won't look so "false". "Wpoison" does a great job,
using a huge array or words and domain endings and creates pretty "real"
looking email addresses that will parse, and that's what I hope to end
up with when done.
I've already gotten my ISP to block the first "FlipDog" BOT that crawled
the page. This one had already been blocked by a number of other ISP's,
so it was easy to convince them to jump on the bandwagon. One down -
several thousand more to go....
I'm f***ing sick of SPAM.
So, I have several things to do:
1. My ISP filters for SPAM and reports all they catch.
However, tons still slips through.
2. For the ones that slip through:
a. I take the time to report every freaking one of them
b. For the repeat ones, I chase the bastards. I recently
sent a 200 page FAX to the maker of the Magna RX Penis
patch - copies of all the SPAM advertising their product
that I had gotten in the last week. They weren't too
happy. But, that's another story and email.
3. Go through all my old apps and protect the email addresses.
a. _javascript_ works great on the "mailto" links.
b. I'm still experimenting with the CFMAIL tags. I wouldn't
thing a harvester would/could grab an address - even
hard coded. But it seems one did. So, I've already
got a fix for that.
4. I want to do more than just report or filter these jerks.
This is why I'm experimenting with various "BOT KILLER"
type pages. If I can choke/stop a bot or clog somebodies
database with useless addresses, the more the better. I'm
obviously still experimenting here too.
I obviously still have a lot to learn, but I'm making a big effort. The
new "CAN-SPAM" USA legislation that was passed is actually going to do
very little to stop SPAM, and may make it easier for some spammers to
operate, from what I can tell. Additionally, as long as spammers can
relay through China-net and other SPAM friendly servers, what good are
any US laws when it isn't coming from the US to start with?
Kill 'em all I say. However, that isn't legal, so anything else I can do
to be a major thorn in the side is great by me.
