AP will face the same problem as Habeas: tracing the spam backwards through the open proxies and China hosting to get information about the real source. RFG ran a honeypot open proxy network that collected information about allegedly "real" proxy-rape spam sources, but he was DDoS'd to death by such people, and then gave up on the effort [publicly? who knows?]. -- -- Todd Vierling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
