Take a look at the date of that report. That it's from almost TWO YEARS ago! The spammer/anti-spammer arms race began a long time ago, and will only get worse.
I've seen numerous harvesters with randomized User-Agent strings crawling a mail archive of mine, even though all output is filtered through Apache::AntiSpam. They are NOT stopped by simple, obvious regexps. Obfuscation is trivially easy to identify and defeat. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Korn [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 9:53 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Re: mailman email harvester Yes, but no spammers actually do so.
