Hi Owain well if I'm going to you are too, here's yours ... http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/email/1698954.html ... these images are generated by opensubscriber as an attempt to avoid spam, I think it's a lame attempt, I've got evidence of receiving spam from such things - they're easy to read and type into a database. It's easy enough to hire people for very little in some parts of the world to harvest email addresses - it doesn't have to be a robot. I keep getting email mon.twoup@(mydomain).com - how the hell did that get in there? One person reading email addresses to another? I sometimes use a catchall email address to monitor usage when I'm concerned, and some of those have defineatley been harvested despite the Captcha images (that is unless those companies have gone against their own privacy rules).
