Its not a scam to collect email address' its a a real antispam solution. Not one I would use but an effective one none the less, and it is becoming more widespread. You dont have to worry about filters, sls, bayes, keywords, heuristics etc. If the original sender is valid just click on the link...... But yes its about as usefull as an autoresponder on a mailing list. Perhaps the list admin could ban @0spam email address....... Pybe On Tue, 21 Sep 2004 18:18:13 -0400, Scot L.
