This test is to measure the ability of software to explore a particular web site and retrieve mail. This characteristic is, you suspect, of utmost importance since it determines the quality of software and its ability to thwart the anti-spam systems, apart from any consideration of filtering, cleaning and / or selectivity.

Protocol

As for the ability to explore, each program has been tested here in two ways:
  • Forced discovery: every software has been instructed to scan a page table of contents of the test site (containing all the links) to extract a maximum email addresses protected or not this is an artifice to help software because no real website does such a page listing all its internal links. 
  • Natural discovery: every software has been instructed to scan the homepage of the test site to retrieve a maximum of email addresses protected or not by each software is faced with the reality of the web, it must only find pages to explore and scanner. 
We set for each software option that can stop to perform this exploration and this collection of email.
For each of these two methods, one result was expected to find 100 emails which provides a note on 100.
We have not included in this test the "usability" of emails (some addresses collected here contain characters that would prevent their use in a mailing).
