Giving Your Greytrapping a Helping Hand

Peter N. M. Hansteen writes "Some spam houses have invested in real mail servers now, meaning that they are able to get past greylisting and even content filtering. Recently Peter Hansteen found himself resorting to active greytrapping to put some spammers in their place. The article also contains a list of spam houses' snail mail addresses in case you want to tour their sites."

how much spam does the average /.er even get per day? I have gotten exactly one spam message that has made it past Gmail's spam filtering

Wow. I remember when the average /.er was running their own mail server. Let me tell you kids, those where the days! The world economy was strong, and I didn't have to have cat food for dinner.

Wow!

Hey, I used to live in null! Had to leave though, there was nothing to do.

Sure, if you run a spam server, please mail me at [e-mail] (or, if you sort it the other way, [e-mail]). Don't use these addresses otherwise. Thanks.

One would think that the scrupulous spammer would not bother spamming gmail anyways.
