If I were writing an e-mail harvester, I'm
sure
I'd have quite an extensive subroutine that looked
for known patterns of spam-avoidance, and how to
undo them.
Actually the best spam avoidance technique I've found is as follows:
if you can create email addresses for
a domain then
set your email address to be 'abuse(a)domain.name'
and make sure you're domain name isn't used
as a spam harbor (open relay mailer, etc)
