Everybody hates spammers... at least I do, and with a passion. Any small form of revenge I find greatly satisfying. In the logs of my lighthttp server, I see this -
118.168.140.161 - - [31/Aug/2008:09:39:02 +0100] "CONNECT mail.agc.idv.tw:25 HTTP/1.0" 501 357 "-" "-"
every two hours. I guess it's some form of hunt for open SMTP relays... but seriously, if they've tried every two hours for a month (hopefully without success), isn't it time to give up?
I feel like writing a little server that fakes the behaviour of an SMTP server, and wastes some of their time and bandwidth... but I know it would waste more of my time than theirs... it seems we simply can't win against these vermin.
