Are you trolling?
"It looks like the system sends packets to the client computer to process the website posts (signing up for email). The end user is really the person sending the sign ups."
You understand tcp right?
yeah - sorry, wasn't trolling. Just trying to point out that the client is not hiding behind the server. anyone logging traffic will log the traffic directly from the client machine. I could have worded that differently. sorry.
Sure, TCP carries the requests, but i think k2h was referring to the javascript running clientside. tear apart the .js on the site. mailbait servers don't fill out any forms. client browsers do.
A little side story: I worked with a person that must have made someone really mad. His corporate email account got signed up for some really bad ongoing email and he had to put some really strong filters in place to screen his incoming. It got to the point he couldn't Check his email with someone looking over his shoulder for fear of what they would see In there.
In The end, his filters were so strong not even the bosses email could make it through, and corp. policy wouldn't allow him a new address. It really was a problem.
Well.. At least we thought someone signed him up for email... Who knows.
