Spammers are STUPID!

So, I got my nightly report from my logfile analyzer on my mailserver the other day, and saw thousands and thousands of bounces. Apparently some spammer was trying to spam non-existant e-mail addresses on haltabuse.org, to the rate of 20 e-mail addresses every 5 minutes. This is known as dictionary spamming.

Okay, so I was annoyed. One access.db entry later, and now his attempts to send e-mail were met with the error "Bite me". But, he's STILL at it:

*shakes his head* It amazes me how stupid spammers can be. You would think that his software would at least check to see if the e-mail is being accepted or not.

Twits.
