No, but I haven't written a program to send it millions of queries either. You should try it and see what happens. I noticed once when I posted a lot of website links on Facebook, it started sending me CAPTCHAs. They obviously have software to detect bot-like behavior. Years ago when I taught a network programming class, one of my assignments was for students to write a SMTP client in Java. I tested their programs by using them to connect to Yahoo's servers to send me an email. As I did this I probably triggered some intrusion detection software because Yahoo started asking for my password a lot more often than usual. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
