Mightn't it be better to have common but unused names instead? [EMAIL PROTECTED] = spamtrap [EMAIL PROTECTED] = spamtrap [EMAIL PROTECTED] = spamtrap > >SIMS will answer "250 OK" for these spamtraps But only if the dictionary attack actually gets around to "frodo123", right? It seems to me that more common names are more likely to be harvested. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
