I'm not sure if this belongs here but I'm sure someone will let me know if I'm in error.
My site has been hit several times by e-mail harvesting bots. I have created a small script that is accessed through a hidden link, an invisible 2x2 gif, which creates 3000 bogus e-mail addresses for an unscrupulous spammers database then captures the client information which is e-mailed back to me. An explicit copyright notices is also displayed forbidding copying / harvesting any of the information generated. The problem is that I'm having trouble finding out exactly who activated the script. Tracert isn't telling me anything useful. Can anyone help me find out who might be harvesting my e-mail addresses? The following was captured from the last activation:

Thanks in advance!
