I have a few ideas about how to distinguish them automatically, but I more or less gave up on the idea of a totally independent client. It will need some help, and someone will need to keep track of spam sites. This makes it a bit more difficult to administer, but considerably simpler technologically. > bring down a poor sods machine running a migmaf or another proxy. See? I knew talking to you guys is going to be helpful. I haven't heard of migmaf until now. However, it will work on migmafed machines, as well, simply bringing down the current machine that acts as a webserver. I'll need to look into migmaf some more, obviously. > Better save your time for something that is useable in the real world. Even Everybody needs a hobby, right? Two things. First, I've been looking around for a summary that describes the business model of spammers. I have an educated guess, but I'd like to get the full picture. I couldn't find anything more updated than 1998. Second, there's a group of people who are developing something rather similar to what I had in mind. They can be found in www.spamitback.com. If you don't approve of abusing spammer's machines as a valid response to spam - don't go there.
