OK- separating the url and code would be a slow down technique - but of
course, that's assuming the spammer uses an address that receives the email
(as you already pointed out)
By having a real mail box that the spam script uses to receive and validate
welcome emails, isn't the spammer easier to track down and shutdown? I
think those "type the letters in the above graphic" systems are a more
effective method to prevent automatic sign up, and they aren't too difficult
to implement.
