Modern spam bots have learned how to sign up for accounts. To my
knowledge they're not fully generalized, but many sufficiently popular
CGI programs have custom spam bots aimed at them.

Interesting how everyone's move to web-based messaging systems to avoid
spam, has merely brought spam to those systems. Now, will all those damn
fillout the web-based form to report problem things revert to e-mail?
Pretty, please?
