Comment Re:Filling referenced website logs with crap? (Score 1) 333
I've often thought that it would be nice to come up with something which submitted plausibible but fake information to the forms on spammers' websites. This would be done slowly so as not to DoS the server, but the steady trickle of nonsense replies would hopefully mean that the spammer couldn't tell the real ones from the fakes.
This is only effective where the spammer is offering to send something by surface mail: if they're just taking things to the next stage via email, they can presumably weed out the fakes that way at little cost to themselves.
