Spam harvesters

[smilodon]

Not exactly sure where to post this one so I'm playing safe in 'banter'  

Once again I think the new web site is great but here's a thought. I have no idea what the deadmen.co.uk e-mail inbox is like for spam but have you thought of masking the e-mails on the site with a java script rather than printing them clean in the code. I got an old domain of mine put on a spam list through a harvester picking my webmaster@ address (I think) and never got rid of the junk.

Just a thought  :?:

Gives the mailto link "E-mail here"
and would send an e-mail to webmaster@deadmen.co.uk
with the subject of "About the Deadmen Web Site"
and would start the e-mail message with "About your web site...."

Just the e-mail address would be





Another method that doesn't use java script at all would be to use this hex

Webmaster

Which would just give the e-mail address webmaster@deadmen.co.uk

var txt="e-mail address";
this.document.write(""+txt+"");

Thanks Neutron.

I will try them out and see if I understand what is happening. *Sadako scratches his vegetable head in wonder regarding javascripts*

any probs just yell

Well, I finally had some spare time to get into the anti harvester campaign. Now the Deadmen can be proud to say that we not only fight wars in CS but also against the bad bad bad e-mail harvesters.

Thanks once again Neutron.

Too late  :cry:  I've been harvested! I now get spam and I have never signed up for diddley with my deamen account. Aaaaaahhhhhhrhghgggg! (Albert is harvested in a pool of blood and vomit)

Well, then they have harvested from either the forum or from some other page that you have used the adress on. On the pages that I have put up only mine, TLs and OBs adresses were available.

If you have it on your ICQ it will be harvested.

::coughs:: Are Enemy Down, Clan Base etc possible culprits?

[JB]

I started gettin TONS of spam mails as soon as my clan rejoined enemy down, and i mean like 6 a day EVERY day.  So as a test i changed my e-mail on ED to a diffrent account but the new account didnt get any spam mails.

It's pretty unlikely that you could have had your e-mail lifted from a forum like this one.  None of these web pages exist in the traditional sense of the word. They are greated on the fly from an SQL database. As soon as you close this window the page disolves into nothing. A spam harvester would have to be able to logon and read the pages (which it can't so you're safe) Likewise I would imagine that EB runs of a database and uses perl to build it's pages on the fly as well.

Of course there are a million other ways you can get junk mail  :cry:

[JB]

Hmm.. Me thinks he knows a little too much about these apparent "spam harvestors" IF they even exist.  I think we may have an insider job going on here.  8O

[smilodon]

I know I've got some time on my hands but I'd starve to death if I tried to make money out of manually lifting e-mails off web sites. Although I've got yours ya cheeky whatnot  :wink:

[Stryker]

sometime when I can be arsed, I could move the deadmen domain to a mailserver I have that runs anti spam stuff.... would catch around 95% of the spam at least.
