Another Honeypot Success

Back on February 1st, I received notification that a MX entry that I donated to Project Honeypot helped identify a previously unknown email harvester. Last Thursday, I received notification of another success.

Stop Spam Harvesters, Join Project Honey Pot

This is an interesting (although statistically irrelevant) speedup (about a year for the first, and about five months for the second). I’ve donated MX entries from two other domains (tangomu.com and badtomatoes.org) since then, so it’ll be interesting to see what the rate is for those (which certainly get hardly any spam compared to the original donation).

If you have the ability to, it would be great if you donated, too.
