Traumwind - rootprompt

"Not only does Spam-X act as a spambot tarpit, by trapping a spambot in to requesting page after page of random, fake e-mail addresses, it also acts as though it were on a very slow link, by taking a full minute to send each page of sixty random mailto: links. It outputs extremely minimal HTML in an effort to minimize its bandwidth impact, while at the same time allowing you to flood a visiting spambot's database with thousands of worthless e-mail addresses while consuming a great deal of the spambot's time. Placing a small or hidden link to the Spam-X script above any valid mailto: links on your site will hopefully trap the visiting spambot, and deprive it of actually harvesting your valid e-mail addresses...."
