Hello. Now, I just wonder how do spammers do that? I just dont understand some very simple tricks, or there are some serious hacking manipulation techniques which require more knowledge or practice. Is there a software that is not written to do that by default but also can harvest, or I just dont get the whole picture? Thanks in advance.

There are some special ways for that off course. There are for example as many as you like programs for password cracking. It is really 1 minute enough for a certain person to reveal your email password if you left him alone while you are in the toilet. Any ISP technical support worker can do that with ease with his clients. Also, there are so called email grabbers at hand for you over the internet, so you can easily become a spammer.
