You'll forgive me for being hung up on technicalities. Spammers waste far
too much of my time as it is - I don't need naive antispammers wasting even
more of my time and resources out of ignorance, even benign ignorance.
The last time we were joe jobbed, we got 27K bounces and a few hundred
people replying to the spam (sent with forged envelope sender of a
nonexistent address in our domain). Replying to spam is stupid.
Personally, I don't know /what/ to do about spam. I mean, I get a lot of it, but I try not to let that bother me and simply hit 'delete' a lot. Thankfully, I don't have to run any mail servers and don't see these problems on a daily basis.
However, I have discovered something recently and was wondering what the resident Spam experts think of this tool/method. It is called WPoison and it creates random pages of junk addresses and junk links. The idea is to send those automated web scanners into a fitful loop and pollute their "valid email address" lists with a bunch of junk. Effective? Fair? Worthwhile?
These are all questions a Spam Jedi must ask.
