Re: do we want SPAM?

Of course PHP doesn't sell those email adresses, I only said that as a possibility to narrow it down to the email spiders that have fun on news.php.net btw I just got the second spam email through my pear-dev account, interessting is I can't find any indicator that it has something todo with the first spam email, different emailsservers, different headers, different country, different email client.. it's too bad thats too late using meebey@php.net to avoid spam, the php email addresses have those anti-spam thing.... Maybe I will add something like that to my emailserver, I am sick of spam... Filtering I don't like, because it only fetches some of the spam. My emailserver configuration I made already tiedest as I can do, so those cheap spam is rejected (e.g. bad headers or not existing domains) On Mon, 13 Jan 2003 00:44:24 +0100 Stephan Seidt <blizz@0x03.net> wrote: > PHP sells email addresses?
