HostedScripts.com has an Anti-Spam! page that has one hundred randomly generated email addresses so that spammers who attempt to collect email addresses off the web through programs will not have real email addresses in their database. At the bottom of the page is a link to the page again, essentially reloading it for programs to collect more fake email addresses because when the page reloads, 100 more fake addys appear. Email collecting programs will be sent in an infinite loop by following the link at the bottom of the page and will get more and more fake email addresses stuck in their databases . Clueless Mailers has a slogan "Surrendering an email address in order to stop spamming abuse means giving in to extortion". They are a very informative bunch.
