Maybe I misunderstand what you are doing, but aren't you increasing the
spam load for people whose real email addresses are used/forged as the
sender address by the spammers? How do you make sure not to include any
addresses of legitimate users in your list?
They're already being used. I receive spam addressed from
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which doesn't surprise me. "My posting them ...
isn't going to let any cats out of any bags that aren't already out."
I'll happily remove any entry from the list when requested, and so far
I've not received any such request. I'm just trying to increase the
noise in their S/N ratio, that's all.
Pardon my bluntness, but yor scheme is just dumb. The vast majority of
sender-adresses on spam emails are spoofed. Look up e-mail spoof in any
online dictionary. The poor people you are displaying are probably
already getting so much spam (since by necessity must exist in the
spammer databases to be used as from-adresses) that they cannot imagine
contacting you to get removed if they ever knew of your list in the
first place.
Spamcop does not list sites based on sender address, they use the
hostnames of the machines the mail has passed through, tracing back to
where the email entered your network. Then every host before that
becomses suspect. Cross referencing several reports, they find
entry-points into the global mail-system that are bad. Those hosts get
listed if they keep offending. See www.spamcop.net.
