| 148845 | 2003-05-31 12:34:00 | Take a good looksie at this picture (sal.neoburn.net). Something funny about it? Well, yes (particularly the address I circled). There are a number of possible reasons for someone doing this - revenge (that's a mighty long list though :D), popularity, an attempt to get more hits (only from bots though), or perhaps some reason beyond my comprehension. If you want to see the original site, it's here (home.earthlink.net). Note that the text has been made the same colour as the background - hence why I had to highlight it. Discovered it purely by accident when I scrolled down, must've accidentally held down the mouse button. |

| 148847 | 2003-05-31 13:55:00 | The "bdomagala" address has a domain of "sendmejunk.com", which is rather funny seeing as the whole list seems to be for spam bots. In conclusion though, I don't think any of those addresses exist, due to the fact that www.sendmejunk.com does not actually exist. The list could in fact be to "deter" spam bots - but it probably ads about 1% of interruption to the sending of emails, and then those email addresses get deleted. Ever wonder if spammers have a blacklist of their own? One for email addresses that don't exist... |

Of course they would, any well made database would have to include bounced and nonexistant addresses, it would be a matter of contant updating. Harvested addresses less bounced addresses equals current database. .Chris |

| 148850 | 2003-05-31 23:44:00 | Of course that would only apply to serial spammers who monitor bouncing....... .Chris |

| 148851 | 2003-06-01 00:19:00 | I really meant one for all spammers, like MailWasher checks against a public, global blacklist? Except the spammers would have a public (not really though, because only spammers would know about it) blacklist of false addresses so they can collectively get a great big database of valid email addresses.... | agent (30) | ||
| 148852 | 2003-06-01 00:24:00 | From what i understand about spammers they sell databases to eachother, so the "blacklist" part would just be another thing collected and traded with the ever updating lists that are exchanged. I dought if the process would be centralised. .Chris |
