Several people have asked me how I'm doing this and can they have my
code to do it themselves. My situation is unique enough that it just
won't work very easilly any place else and it's definitely not clean
enough for just anyone to install.
You should make an effort to clean it up so that others *can* install
it as a standalone daemon, as I suggested. Why? How long will it be
before the spambots explicitly refuse to contact your honeypot if it
is listed as an MX for the domain they're attacking?
Good point. I suppose that if this grows I can point to my traps using
other hostnames. I can also set up traps on virtual server under OpenVZ
so spammers won't know what IP ranges to avoid.
