Hi, I think b.d.o should at least send a no-email-collection meta tag on every page. The projecthoneypot.org project attempts to identify email harvesters (not spammers) by generating unique email addresses which mach the IP of the visitor and hides these addresses from human visitors. This is done so only non-human visitors (e.g. harvesters) find the "identifier" (the unique email address) and send spam to it and thus identifying who the harvester is.
At projecthoneypot.org there are some pages[1][2][3] providing useful information. I would also recommend the installation of a honeypot at b.d.o so we help this project. If this meassure is taken, there are two possible things that may occur: 1.- Harvesters are detected and possibly blocked by making use of projecthoneypot's http:BL API[4] 2.- Harvesters understand it won't do any good to them grabbing emails from b.d.o and make their bots skip b.d.o [1] http://www.projecthoneypot.org/how_to_avoid_spambots_5.php [2] http://www.projecthoneypot.org/honey_pot_example.php [3] http://www.projecthoneypot.org/faq.php#c [4] http://www.projecthoneypot.org/httpbl_api -- Atomo64 - Raphael Please avoid sending me Word, PowerPoint or Excel attachments.
