About tarpitting. It seems to me that any half technical spammer will use a multi threaded program that opens thousands of simultaneous SMTP connections. A tar pit would only stall one of those connections, using a few KB of RAM. Hundreds of tar pits would only slow the spammer by a fraction of a percent.
Am I missing something? Are you guys all wasting you time doing tar-pits? 8)
Yes. It's all just a bit of fun really. And it *feels* so much better than just sending them away only to come back 5 seconds later. :-)
