Heh, boy is that a misconception. The spiders will find it, regardless of e-mail lists. Domain records are public knowledge and the spiders will eventually find blogs and forums without any help. That said, posting the URL/e-mail address on a Google Group or via Google Groups is a different story. Doing that just expedites your visibility on Google. As far as address harvesting, this mailing list is archived, in its full glory, on many database list aggregators. Your unmunged e-mail address has likely been published to the WWW if you've ever posted here. Don't be fooled thinking your posting here is private and you're safe from spammers. I, personally, think munging is a waste of time and it only helps marginally against targeted spam. This is off-topic, though. Reply to my e-mail address if you want to argue.
PS: the best defense, IMO, against harvest-bot spam is to use a specific address for public communications, note in the footer that you should add specific words to the subject line in a specific order, and then filter all mail out that doesn't contain those specific words in the correct placement. Bots are going to have a hell of a time figuring that out to send spam to you. ---------------------------------------- Glen Batchelor IT Director/CIO/CTO All-Spec Industries phone: (910) 332-0424 fax: (910) 763-5664 E-mail: [email protected] Web: http://www.all-spec.com Blog: http://blog.all-spec.com ---------------------------------------- > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:u2-users- > [email protected]] On Behalf Of Symeon Breen > Sent: Friday, August 06, 2010 10:52 AM > To: 'U2 Users List' > Subject: Re: [U2] Another "NEW" "cutting-edge" column based database > concept! > > Cos he does not want spiders to scan his site and publish it to the world, > personally i like spiders > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Address > Sent: 06 August 2010 15:19 > To: U2 Users List > Subject: Re: [U2] Another "NEW" "cutting-edge" column based database > concept! > > Why does nebula always have no spam in their postings ? > > No other poster seems to do that in this forum. > > > > --- On Thu, 8/5/10, Shawn Hayes <[email protected]> wrote: > > > From: Shawn Hayes <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [U2] Another "NEW" "cutting-edge" column based database > concept! > To: "U2 Users List" <[email protected]> > Date: Thursday, August 5, 2010, 10:08 PM > > > I am getting "Firefox can't find the server at nospam_pleasenebula- > rnd.com" > > I am interested in your thoughts.
