How do you deal with abusive web aggregators?

You know, those automatic programs that search out and grab web content so that others can see it? Usually, this is a good thing for a web site, since it makes your content visible to others that wouldn’t normally see it. That is, until it becomes abusive.

I have a feeling that if you send your information to the same emal address, you may have won too!

Obviously, this is spam. It is the first real spam that I’ve gotten in years, so I’m excited. The first email server it hit was listed as Ono network in whole Spain which appears to be a cable ISP.

Oh, so I won’t be disappearing. So sorry.

/. article – which spam filter is best?

Fast forward to 39:42 into the movie to see his rankings.

Here’s what I saw (YMMV):

1) bogofilter

2) ijsSPAM2

3) spamprobe

4) spamasas-b (learning only)

5) crmSPAM3 (1:40 ham eaten)

Of course, he immediately showed other views of the data and had different rankings. Basically, you need to decide how much real email you are willing to lose to fight any spam getting in.
