I have added a page to our main site that generates thousands of false emails for spammers. You can visit the page by clicking on the below link.

Anti spam page (http://www.yourinternetstore.co.uk/emails/emails.php)

You can add the page to your own site by pasting in the URL on the page. Any spammers that visit your web site will be diverted to ours and fed lots of rubbish email addresses.

It doesn't stop you getting email through your usual address but is merely a hindarance to the spammers.

It sends them thousands of email addresses if they use a mail harvester on your site. This means that the results they get are useless as the majority of emails collected will be useless.

Colin, run your mail harvester on this site and my web hosting site and see what happens.

Its a good idea, but what happens when the spammers spoof the from address with a genuine email address? Some poor sod will end up with all the mail delivery errors....
