address harvester
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.
