Re: Warning: e-mails being harvested from PHP newsgroups

Ha! They can have at it! If they are stupid enough to spam a bunch of programmers and network people they deserve what they get. Now it's *against the law* to harass spammers by tracking their malicious activity back to it's source and sending virus after virus : ), or hacking into their servers to delete things : ). So I would *never* recommend that course of action. But tempers do flare from time to time......... and there's no telling what a bunch of aggravated programmers can/would do.......
