Re: [Mimedefang] How to best populate a spamtrap?
I would say that anything other than simply letting the spam come to you is a bad idea and would risk tainting your results. Things you can do to increase the spam coming in that I can think of: Use the email address on the public whois data. Capture all the [EMAIL PROTECTED] emails since a lot of dictionary attacks work that way. Put the spam trap up on a fairly popular website. Post using the email address to public mailing lists and usenet. OOh, and here is an important one. Make your MX record mail.domain.com. A lot of spammers have picked up on that convention and email to it with only A records defined (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]). That's all I can think of at the moment.
