Hi everybody, I am pleased to announce the first Zope product whose idea is based on the beer-influenced discussion at the EuroZope BBQ in July. Everybody probably knows the problem: spam. But now those email-harvesting robots written in that evil language called Perl, whose only purpose is to collect email addresses and send HTML emails to them, have an enemy: RoboCage! RoboCage is a Zope product. It creates random text (languages English, German, Dutch and French out of the box) and randomly inserts fake email addresses and links back to itself (under a different URL, though). Thus, it will trap this scum-of-all-software and provide a "cage" of never ending HTTP requests for them until somebody has mercy with them and Ctrl-C-s them... By know, it should be clear that Martijn and other crazy Dutch people were part of this group and mainly influenced this idea. We also talked about a contest in which we would compare webserver log file statistics. So, here's my contestant; I'm waiting for others! Post your bids in euro to eurozope@comlounge.net! The product is available at http://www.zope.org/Members/philikon/RoboCage/. An example of how it may look like can be found under http://philikon.de/stuff/rc/. Comments are greatly appreciated. That was it for this time. See you all next year in Berlin, Philipp v.W.
