Well, you've got a fairly strong candidate right there. It's also possible that a bit of data mining on the spamd logs in our various crypts could be a source of entertainment. Here at here at bsdly.net and friendlies we've had some hanging on for hours for a single failed delivery attempt (see eg [1]) and while I was tending more actively to my spambait address list ([2]) I noticed quite a few that would spend weeks after getting greytrapped, attempting to deliver to every last one of the 10,000+ addresses in that list. There are scattered field notes over at http://bsdly.blogspot.com, with a spamd themed series of posts that may serve as inspiration starting at http://bsdly.blogspot.com/2007/07/hey-spammer-heres-list-for-you.html and of course the machinery it describes is still running and active. - Peter [1] http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/en/spamd.experience.html [2] http://bsdly.net/~peter/traplist.shtml -- Peter N.
