I wonder what ever happened to "spamhole", I supposed it never caught on, the idea was to use that piece of software to fake an open relay and have all the spam dumped to /dev/null. The suggestion was that with widespread use, it could blunt the spammers. The latest was Dec. 2003 http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/spamhole/spamhole-0.5.tar.gz?downl oad, I must see what that offers.
Problem is, while it sounds like a good idea, it's more of a feel-good measure than anything else. The spammers don't care whether or not you /dev/null everything they send you. If it doesn't bounce, they get paid.
It seems there is more to this spam, I always thought they only got paid when whatever they are selling gets transacted. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer ===== LINUX ONLY USED HERE =====
