Re: [cobalt-users] Email Trap ( Tripwire?) block spammers

I would like to setup 4 or 5 email addresses for spamers to find

email used... And would not receive any email at all from
the sending email server...

Has anyone tried something like this? And what would be involved?
Procmail? Tripwire?

Nothing automatic.
post to a list like this with the bogus emails at the end, some people do it not
post them on a web site that gets some traffic
their are harvesting programs that pull them from both locations
(I posted an email address in the metatags for two days, I misspelled it. I have been hammered ever since)

It then would take something dynamic to catch email to the bogus address and actually then record the sending server and actually start using it to block incoming email.

you could manually put things in procmail
