Last weekend I setup 2 new gmail addresses and deliberately put them on my blog in view of all the worlds spammers.
But:
- I added one email address as a bog-standard mailto: link. It currently has 4 spam messages.
- I hid the other behind a tinyurl link. It currently has 0 spam messages.
I guess this little trick is working so far.
But here’s what we’ve got to do … [I’m whispering now] don’t tell anyone else, okay. If this caught on the spammers would soon catch up with us.
Oh, btw, can anyone please tell me [me, that is, who used to be technically competent once-up-on-a-time, honest] how to do this using my own domain www.clarkeching.com?
