Anyone who registers a domain needs help against SPAM!

If you already have registered a domain, or are planning to soon, you either already are, or soon will be, spammed badly by unwanted mail. Two methods that I use and recommend are as follows: Download spambait.zip from my site at: http://www.natural-stress-management.com/downloads/ this tiny 7k program generates false addresses to post on your site (unseen by visitors, but visible to spiders collecting addresses for spammers to resell so we get MORE spam!). This is easy to do and if everyone did this the spammers could no longer use spiders effectively! Another method, is altering any addresses posted on your web site with an explanation explaining how to change back. an example can be found on my site at: http://www.natural-stress-management.com my E mail address is almost at the very bottom of that page. This trick will allow the spiders to grab an unusable address from your site.
