Webmasters can help fighting spam by giving a URL link to a page that randomly generates 100 bogus email addresses each time it is visited. Email harvesters (also known as spambots) will crawl this page and store all of these hundred bogus email addresses in a database. If more webmsaters can offer assistance, spammers' database could be filled up wiuth a huge number of invalid email addresses. Would that be effective ? Might not be ! But at least, webmasters have joined together to give spammers some trouble !
