Spammers tarpit has been posted. It's a plugin that's supposed to ask spammers to go away. Not an ideal solution as far as I can say.

FreeBSD 5.3-BETA1 is available, happy testing, everyone. Also, the long avaited Enlightenment DR16.7.1 has been released. I don't know how many years ago Enlightenment was my favourite deskmanager. Year 2000 or thereabouts, perhaps. Congratulations! Perhaps I'll give this a spin sometime soon.
