Death to spammers!

[t8rs]

Well, since we can't actually kill them, here's the next best thing:

http://www.spamabuse.org

It has the easiest method I've seen or used to report spam.


While I'm on the topic, why is it that even the most professional of web designers don't seem to know about email harvesters or how to obscure email addresses from them? There are several ways to "hide" addresses and although I'm not a programmer by trade, the code looks simple but I see very little use of it.

spamassassin is a good serverside tool that works in conjunction with a mail server such as postfix under a unix like environment. it analyses inbound email line by line using complex heuristics and tags the mails it considers to be spam. optionally you can have the mail server drop them in /dev/null or simply forwarded to the intended recipient for further screening and disposal. [suitably tagged with the label *****spam*****]

it would be harder to spam if mail servers were smart enough to detect forged header segments and reject them outright when spammers attempt to abuse them.

dear echelon, spammers are terrorists, please carpet bomb them into the stone age. [like you did with the taliban]

I guess T8rs was watching CFTO news to learn about spamabuse.org

there is an easier way to report spam, I have sed this site for about 3 years to report spam.. but what is the point?, my hotmail & msn is up to 40 emails a day between the 2 of them
