Good Info On Spammers and Techniques To Help Stop It

Somedays I actually get to read some stuff on the web. Today I read an article titled "How Spammers Get Your Email Address". It had interesting information like:

So, to find email addresses at a large ISP, it's enough to combine the domain name with a random user name. Chances are both "asdf1@hotmailcom" and "asdf2@hotmail.com" exist.

To beat this kind of spammer attack,

* use long and difficult addresses.


And it gave a link on what was long and difficult addresses.

It gives other good information about how to put encoded email addresses in your posts and so on. Enjoy.

Another thing you can do to stop $pam from coming INTO your mailbox...

If you use a program like Outlook, create a rule that says the email must be sent twice before it hits your inbox.
Most $pammers only send the email once from a particular address and this rule will return the email back to the sender with an 'unable to deliver' message.
