Is nobody going to mention how this is a bad thing intended for sending spam? Guess I'll have to be that person then.

Took me a while to understand they were scraping email addresses and not actual emails.

Wow, the author really calls out his competition! There are also parts 2 and 3 to this article that discusses using Rust and Postgres for their solution.

Help rid the world of spam! Project Honey Pot is our friend. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.projecthoneypot.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.projecthoneypot.org&#x2F;</a>

I must be missing something because 6.5 days * $21&#x2F;day = $136.5<p>&quot;&quot;&quot;<p>The entire process now took 6.5 days and cost $21&#x2F;day. Our total cost all said and done was $115!<p>&quot;&quot;&quot;
