|
n. A robot that searches web pages and/or filters netnews traffic looking
|
|
|
|
|
for valid email addresses. Some address harvesters are benign, used only for
|
|
|
|
|
compiling address directories. Most, unfortunately, are run by miscreants
|
|
|
|
|
compiling address lists to spam. Address harvesters can be foiled by a
|
|
|
|
|
teergrube.
