[uk-netmarketing] Spambot on the loose in the archives

[Tim Ireland]

I would guess that this twat has a spambot digging through the web looking

for pages that list a number of search engines and have an email address

(and/or a mailto command) adjacent.

The post at the quoted URL isn't mine, but the content mentions at least 4

different search engines and has my email address in the "From: Tim Ireland"

bit.


I don't know how often this is going to happen, but I'd like to say the

following just in case:


Alta Vista, HotBot, Yahoo, Google, Lycos, Excite, Ask Jeeves.
