This page is a honey pot or ‘spamtrap‘.
I’ve always wondered how quickly a spammer will pick up your email address once it’s out on the internet. Even though this website doesn’t get much traffic, I still get a lot of spam from bots trying to post comments (that’s no longer a problem since I added some anti-spam features). So I wonder if those bots are also scanning ‘contact’ pages to pick up emails.
These two are newly created emails (as of June 21, 2009), every week or month depending on how quickly spam builds up, I’ll update how much spam each of them have received.
email: johnsmith@cmalabs.com
email: joansmith [AT] cmalabs [DOT] com
UPDATE: first spam for johnsmith was received on Aug 4. I’ll update this every 10 days or so.
Aug4 – Aug14: 10
Aug14-Aug24: 9
Oh, and if you actually wanted to contact me, send an email to cma [at] this domain. or use this form
