[thelist] email address harvesters

[Ed Shuck]

hi

i do not know how but i know of what you refer.

i have pacbell.net as an isp but he.net as a hosting service with two URLs,
one of which is noevalley.com.  the spam seems to go directly to he.net
(95+%).  i just del it.  it is as though they are blind to the URL but not
to the hosting.  so i think( but do not know) that the spammer is harvesting
the host for their clients.  or may be paying a client of the host for the
list.

peace
