What Javier means here is that the spammers are simply subscribed to debian-user and other high traffic volume mailing lists. The interval from sending to a Debian mailing list until the first spam arrived was less than the publishing time in web. > BTW, I could add a test e-mail addres there (in HTML comments) > to see if those are harveste at all.

I think that some conducted experiment like yours would put clearly the *current* spammer techniques, not old ones like web harvesting (apart from the fact that people seems to accept replacing @ by entities is a smart idea, and forget that if you were a harvesting program, the second thing you will search for would be the entity (apart from [blank]@[blank], [blank]AT[blank], and other *smart* tricks.) Oh, and I think that maybe you could write O:-) some report with your results and send it to debian-devel and/or debian-www and to the listmasters...oh and do not forget Santiago Vila. :-D Best regards, Ender. -- En la noche de tu sangre los glóbulos son estrellas, cometas los hematíes y planetas los átomos de hierro. -- La palmera transparente (Mario Satz) -- Debian developer
