I wonder how many thousands of spam bots have tried to connect to the servers and send email using text ripped from these pages federated across numerous domains.

And they can’t just block one website. They’d have to individually block every node if they want to crawl the web for email addresses to steal. I hope it’s a real thorn in their side.

    Spammers don’t care… they have a list of millions of addresses and blast through them… lots are deleted, never existed, or just garbage.

    The people that run the email server they are using to send the mail care very much, but in most cases they are not the same people.
