Oh, Doggy, do I ever: First, set up a few tagged addresses. Post to usenet with some addresses from your server. Respond to a few spams listing your email address as the contact information. Remove all the spam filtering rejection rules from Postfix-- i.e. don't require FQDN for anything, use none of the RBLs, etc... Make a post or three to BugTraq. Post to Slashdot with an address from this domain. Click on popups (in a sandboxed environment-- no point in being stupid!) and give an address at that domain for contact info. This is what my users do, and then wonder why they get spam... -- Jay Request mortgage information, again with that email adress
