Tarpitting is
the practice of slowing the transmission of e-mail messages sent in bulk as a
means of thwarting spammers. The intent is to maintain a high quality of
service for legitimate users while making the sending process impractical for
spammers, who -- because of low response rates -- must be able to send vast
volumes of messages quickly and inexpensively. The delay is insignificant for
typical recipient lists, and administrators can grant exemptions to people with
valid reasons to send messages to a large number of recipients.
