Take a look at the date of that report. That it's from almost TWO YEARS ago! The spammer/anti-spammer arms race began a long time ago, and will only get worse. I've seen numerous harvesters with randomized User-Agent strings crawling a mail archive of mine, even though all output is filtered through Apache::AntiSpam. They are NOT stopped by simple, obvious regexps. Obfuscation is trivially easy to identify and defeat. -----Original Message----- From: Dave Korn [davek_throwaway () hotmail com] Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2005 9:53 AM To: full-disclosure () lists netsys com Cc: mailman-developers () python org; bugtraq () securityfocus com Subject: [Full-disclosure] Re: mailman email harvester Yes, but no spammers actually do so.
