The other one is to leave your address as plain text. When spam is
received act on it. Inoshiro <http://thock.com> wrote an excellent
article on how to find the originator of spam. There is also and
excellent guide called "How to find spammers and make them suffer"
floating about on the internet. The other common places to harvest
e-mail addresses is ICQ and AIM. If a spammer adds themselves to your
list and you can get their IP address, have a little fun with them.
It's suprising the amount of spammers who don't realise they're
running compromised. For more information on dealing with spammers
check out #hack #spam on EFNet servers.
