Terry,

What never ceases to amaze me is the stupidity of a large proportion of
these guys (e.g., using "$domain", for one thing) as compared with the
considerable ingenuity that mail admins must deploy to guard against those
fools. They use a shotgun approach and even if they manage to harvest 5% of
"good" addresses -- at little or no expense to them --, they are ahead.
Meanwhile, the white hat managing a ten-address mail server must nonetheless
deal with the attacks at his/her own expense.

Hang in there :-/

Guy
