In my experience, what you say is true - the bulk of the spam comes via generic spamming software that has been hard-coded to work with a finite number of applications. However - once you knock these out, there is still a steady stream of what are clearly human generated spams. The mind boggles at the economics or desperation that make this worthwhile. -- Andrew McNamara, Senior Developer, Object Craft http://www.object-craft.com.au/ _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
