RE: Signing up for spam?

["Hamish Stanaway" <koremeltdown () hotmail com>]

Hi there Elliot,

We receieve a large amount of spam on our network, largely because we have 
email addresses on our website. An idea might be to get your email address 
onto a website that does well in the search engines, as some spam bots will 
collect your email address through search engines by then going onto your 
site, and then putting it into a database - this database is then sold / 
redistributed through the spam networks, then you get hit. Give it a go, and 
see what happens pretty quickly.



Kindest of regards,

Hamish Stanaway, CEO
