No, they'll still pick up your addr, but it will pollute their lists with lots of fake email addrs as well. It's an old idea -- another, really well-established one is "wpoison" -- as used at jmason.org: http://jmason.org/moreinfo.whtml . This produces lots of fake addresses like [EMAIL PROTECTED] which don't exist, obviously. ;) Nowadays, a better trick is to mix in a few "real" addresses, which feed directly to "spamassassin -r". Assuming the spammers spam them as part of a mass run, they'll add themselves immediately to Razor, DCC and Pyzor that way ;) --j. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Spamassassin-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/spamassassin-talk
