I sent this in early June to the user list, but it got no play, so I
figured that I'd give here a go.
Thanks

Subject: Honeypot addresses, any way to bypass extremepb?
To: For Users of ASSP <assp-u...@lists.sourceforge.net>


I've setup a couple honeypot subdomains.  My intention is to use them to
gather more and more varied spam messages.

This might just be a case of ASSP not being intended for this, in which
case I'll just kill the subdomains or donate them to project honeypot.
 ..or I could just be doing it wrong.

I have the subdomains listed in a group like this
[HONEYPOT-ADDRESSES]
@subdomain1.ourcharity.org
@subdomain2.ourcharity.org

and I have that group listed in SpamAddresses

The problem is that the volume of spam is causing the sender Ip to goto the
extremePB.

in block reports, I see:
spam reason: (score for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is 645, surpassing extreme level of
601) [--the subject--]

and as such, the messages aren't being collected.

Is there a way to tell ASSP to collect mail into the spam folder for
specific addresses?  Don't process them, don't block based on IP, just
gobble up the mail, save it in spam, and give the IP a score.  Maybe don't
even give the sender an error, but don't use extremepb for mails
exclusively to these addresses  --like a honeypot should work.

Again, if this is a bad idea, counter to ASSP's mission / design, etc, I'll
just ditch the concept.
