Busy day today
With the gorgeous weather, I have been taking care of a lot of outdoor stuff. Had a Chamber meeting this evening so just now sitting down to the 'puter.
Had another couple of spammers -- the hijacked forums type is now sending about 30 to 40 different URLs, frequently for the same parent domain so weeding these out is absolutely simple. The actual list of fora changes so a list of 30 will come in with ten already in the hopper and 20 new addresses for me to click and add...
Whomever is behind this is a rank amateur and is not thinking their strategy through. If I were running this, I would just send at most, four or five out at a time, that way, I am not polluting my database. I would also invest in a better grade of bots as the majority of these are coming in from systems already in the zen.spamhaus.org database of confirmed spammers.
