forget the cute messages.Before I launch a website with this new and oh-so-great service I thought I'd check with you people first, just to see what it is that I'm missing with this oh-so-great idea (most likely that it either exists, or that someone tried it and got sued into next week). =)The idea is pretty simple, for a spammer (or the one paying him) to get his money he needs to have a way for his future customers to contact him, and most of the time that way is based on working DNS-servers/information (esp. these short anti-bayesian/spamfilter porn-spams I've been getting a lot of lately).
If you wanted to do anything like this then you should consider a tie-in between the email RBL and creating an HTTP version of RBL.
Oh.. but that won't work at all. The IP address that is sent in the email rarely, if ever, has anything to do with the intended client.
Email headers are forged. Received headers may have nothing to do with the 'click here' link in the html based email.
Are you planning on just blacklisting every IP address that resolves from a URL in the message body?
That can be easily done with IPTABLES.
I think you would be better off to strip the HTML on incoming email so the yahoos can't just click away at it. That would be your best move.
