  1. Re:he suggests formmail, another spam tool on Stopping Spambots: A Spambot Trap · · Score: 1

    I believe he has now updated the page to link to the nms version, but as the server is now thoroughly slashdotted, I'm unable to reload the page to see what has been changed.

  2. he suggests formmail, another spam tool on Stopping Spambots: A Spambot Trap · · Score: 5, Informative
    Interestingly within the article he suggests hiding your e-mail addresses by making a feedback page. One of the programs that he suggests is formmail, and he links to Matt's original version.

    formmail itself (even the most recent version) can still be abused by spammers to use your webserver as a bulk mail relay - see the advisory at
    http://www.monkeys.com/anti-spam/formmail-adviso ry . df

    It's a shame he didn't suggest the more robust formmail replacement at nms which is maintained, and attempts to close all the known bugs and insecurities.
