Re: Close list

[Gil Bahat <coutal@netvision.net.il>]

Here is a (somewhat?) constructive idea regarding the spam.
i would like to point everyone to sugarplum:
(http://www.devin.com/sugarplum/)
quote from README file:

sugarplum is a spam-bot database poisoner utility.  The
specific usage of a spam poisoner is to provide a spammer's email
spider with bad data -- ideally lowering the database's usefulness
so much that the database must be reverted, discarded or manually
edited.

while this will not stop directed spam, nor remove the lists from
databases it is already in, it might just decrease it's entrance
to new databases, and/or protect list users from having their
email addresses being harvested.

yes, i know it's not much, but it's something alright.
serious commentary welcome. flames will be forwarded to /dev/null.
