Well, having the 2nd highest post score on atokar.net might people make think i am a spammer - well, yes, in a way

Whatever, I just stumbled across this very useful site http://www.projecthoneypot.org/ which seems to be pretty interesting for every webdeveloper. If not, just skip this post

"Project Honey Pot is the first and only distributed system for identifying spammers and the spambots they use to scrape addresses from your website. Using the Project Honey Pot system you can install addresses that are custom-tagged to the time and IP address of a visitor to your site. If one of these addresses begins receiving email we not only can tell that the messages are spam, but also the exact moment when the address was harvested and the IP address that gathered it."

That is what they write and i found the things i was looking for - so may be you are as lucky as well? Good luck and share your experience.
