Somebody made a throwaway remark in a comment asking "Where's your SpamPoison?"

Not one I'm familiar with, but I took a look. SpamPoison appears to be an email-harvester-killer: Spammers use software to crawl the web and find emails to use. SpamPoison involves putting a link on your website that the harvester will follow and be swamped with so many emails that it drops dead.

Interesting idea in principle, but all spammers need to do is program their bots to not follow links to the spampoison website, you might say. Well, yes, but there seem to be a plethora of such websites working with the same basic principle, such as "harvesterkiller" and "the ultimate spam bot trap page", so spammers would be hard pressed to keep up with them all.

And it'll be nice to imagine all their poxy software choking every time it comes to this page. Maybe if somebody would come up with a little PHP script or something that would do the same "Generate endless fake email addresses" from your own website? That'd make it *very* hard for spammers to code around.

Incidentally, Firefox crashed while I was writing this post - not sure why. But it came back with all tabs restored and the blog post still populated with text, which I rate as a pretty good recovery, so well done Mozilla.
