Thanks, Unfortunately I don’t really have the time tonight but I will check it out over the weekend. I have no doubt I can use somthing like that.
I appreciate your idea and will let you know ASAP.
And I know a couple of my clients could use something like that too.
Thanks

Visit my site for an example of the automailer, go to link building services, then goto directory submission, choose one, and you will see the form I have there, it automails to me, but then goes no where else. Then it re-directs to the payment page. If you need some specific coding let me know, I can set it up pretty easy and send some links.

Hey David,
I have used their alerts for MY keywords and found a lot of scrapers that way, but never thought about doing what you did. I am probably one of the few who doesn’t use SpamAssin along with Akismet. Maybe I should start.
I need something like what you are using for the automailer before a payment page, I just started a Job Board here and get mostly Junk. Fortunately they don’t want to Pay for the Priviledge of Spamming the JB so they just fade away.
I would love to be able to filter them out before I even get a notice they applied.
If you have any links you can share with us, I personally will be most grateful.

Bingo, David is the name. I used a Google alert set to “email scrapers” orginally to find posts about programs that were grifting email addresses, then I read the offending sites and did some research on which programs were causing issues with it. Turns out spam assassin was one of them and I was in luck because cPanel 11 had it as an option I could use. I have recently come across a new program that auto fills out a php form that I have on my main site with useless links…which amazes me because they are never actually posted anywhere, it is an automailer with information we use before a payment page, but oh well.
