Honeypots: Re: honeypots as spam traps

Andy,
    In my case, it's fed straight into the email server's dictionary.

Extracting the domains & URLs that are (by definition) required by a spammer
to advertise can then be analyses and scored, just like any other
word/phrase.

It's quite effective (even if I did find my first three false positives this
morning.. out of 18873 emails. 144 of which could *only* be determined to be
spam because they were sent to the honeypot..)
