Project Honey Pot – Real Time Spam Traps
Project Honey Pot is a bridge that provides domain owners the ability to share email harvesting attempts with the community. On the website you can download a pre-made and customized script for implementation on your website. Go to:
http://www.projecthoneypot.org
Register yourself. Then click “install new honey pot”. Place it in a directory on your domain. Traverse to the directory in a browser. Select the button that completes the setup, and the continue following the instructions provided to you. When you add links to your website I recommend adding the nofollow rel tag. Albeit use of this tag is widely debated, I don’t think it can hurt. You will get statistics on your projecthoneypot.com homepage with the incident of email harvesters coming to your domain.
Set one up. Participate. If your domain receives any spam your website is most likely being visited by email harvesters.

There is no reason your website should not conform to W3C standards. It will ensure the highest possible ability, of your website, to be displayed properly in the wide variety of web browsers available in the marketplace.

I’ve gone over sendmail several times, but ultimately it comes down to a couple of factors. Unless you are setting up an enterprise level email server, and require some login settings, and potential relaying, sendmail is relatively simple. You start by installing it: sudo apt-get install sendmail Sendmail operates on port 25 because it is [...]

Head over to business.yahoo.com, or Godaddy and buy a domain. Godaddy is cheaper, Yahoo is more expensive, both will get the job done. Having your own domain is like owning a piece of property. You can build whatever your want. You can post whatever signs you want. You can yell or sit quietly in the [...]
