hi

just wondering what people using honeypots as spam traps do with
their collected info. There doesnt seem much point reporting spam to
the place it comes from as more often than not, their isps are ones,
listed in spamhaus.org SBL, that seem to be ignoring the problem.

I wonder if there's any use in making reports and sending them to
the destination ISPS.

I'm using KFSensor as a spam trap, I'm in the process of writing
some scripts to do something useful with the log files.

I know some may disagree, but I use to report my honeypot (actually
honeytokens) received email, via Vipul's Razor agent, then just delete
it.

I just shunt the IP addresses of the spam server to a db which is 
used to tarpit all future connection attempts.Michael@Insulin-
