True, but why would a spammer do that if he already had the address to begin with?

- Qz 16y agoIt's about matching an possible email to an actual email. But I don't think it would really make a difference as the same thing applies to email addresses in general.
- arethuza 16y agoActually, I just realized this would be a horrible thing as it provides a means of checking validity of email addresses - presumably a spammers delight.

- theli0nheart 16y agoThis could be easily solved if we used some field such as first_name as a salt. Thoughts?
- arethuza 16y agoThat makes things a bit better, but a lot of first names are embedded in email addresses...
