Ahem.
Marc, your infrequent (and off-topic at that) post about adding your
tarpit MX for third-party domains is one thing. So far, it was a new
thread always, and well, the very same arguing against it started
immediately.
This response, however, is a totally different thing. In my not so
humble opinion, this is advertising -- almost cold-calling -- without
the *necessary* discussion of what this does, what it actually means and
the downsides implied.
Please do not do it this way.

I've described it a number of times on the list. I don't see why I need
to continue to do that. They were discussing ways to reduce spam and I
mentioned it. It's free - it works - and there is no down side.
Here's the info on it.

And it helps build black lists of spam bots that people can use for free.
Now you're going to criticize me for explaining what you just asked for?
