Ha! The number of spam emails I get, sometimes I wonder if there is actually a good product like this which might be useful but gets lost in the sea.

Edit : really nice and to the point product, found a bunch of issues with my website. Now all my broken links are fixed and the website has a favicon!

Even if I spot something interesting the fact that they spammed me creates a barrier they won't get past. It's unfortunate but it is the reality. Sending unsolicited email is a black mark now.
