Spam is a huge problem on the Internet. Anyone with an Internet account is well aware of this issue.
One way to deal with spam is by filtering it out before or after you download your email. I use InBoxer for this purpose.
The shortcoming of simply filtering spam is that it has very little impact on the spammers themselves and therefore makes their job no harder. The result is that they just keep on sending out spam. There is another way…
One way to thwart the attempts of email harvesters (those the run “spiders” to scan sites for email addresses) is the spam spider loop technique. What the heck is that? Well, it works like this. You put a link on your page that goes to a page with a list of random fake email addresses. At the end of that list is a link that goes to a similar page of more random fake email addresses. At the end of that list is yet another link… ad infinitum. This puts the spider into an infinite loop.
I am not sure what impact this has at the end of the day. But I think it is a neat idea. If you wish to participate in fighting back against spammers in this way then check out the following:
