[ale] [OT] Rediculus Spam via ALE

[Chris Farris]

That is infact the problem. Everytime I put an email address on a
website in about 2 weeks that address starts getting a flood of spam....
Not much you can do about it once its out there - even if I went back
and fixed the archives (all 6 years of them) they would still be cached 
out there, and once harvested they are traded around in the spammer
community.

I've given up and I'm writing a Challenge/Response Whitelist/blacklist
system to filter email on my site. I'll let people know how that turns
out.
