You probably already know this, but e-mail harvesting software is how people "find" e-mail addresses.

Many of them, but sometimes they manage to get email addresses which are protected by various contrivances (e.g. in a web page, having the webmaster's address appear as a .gif). I guess they could be using an smtp intercept, though that would be sorta evil.

Still, I have a strong suspicion much more money is being made in the spam business than is being made in any other business by spamming.

I don't even like to open my mailbox anymore. It's like opening a dirty catbox every evening.
