We've talked a bit about Winds' multi-layered spam-defenses before. As a fine close-out to the New Year, I received an email from Project Honey Pot:

"Regardless of how the rest of your day goes, here's something to be happy about - today a honey pot you installed successfully identified a previously unknown email harvester (IP: 61.144.188.248). You can find information about your newly identified harvester here. Info on all the harvesters that have been spotted by this honey pot is also available.

Don't forget to tell your friends you made the Internet a little better today. You can refer them to Project Honey Pot directly from our website.... Thanks from the entire Project Honey Pot team and, we're sure if they knew, from the Internet community as a whole."

Project Honey Pot is fairly easy to install, and I recommend it. Here's a fine New Years' resolution: let's make the Internet a more dangerous place for Spambots in 2006.
