In short it is too complicated and not worth the cost. Shorten the lifetime; bad and heavy targeted addresses will still be cached; good ones will expire; at that point whenever you'll need to create a new address on the server, just tell to the user that the address will be active in "x hours" or, if that's unacceptable just disable the "make traps" function; all in all there's that option too > But relax, the feature will stay in ASSP V2. I am relaxed and I was relaxed; the point is that some people finds the penaltytrap feature a good one, others don't, but since it's there AND there's an option to disable it; it will just be a matter of setting it to "disabled", it will still be there in case one will change mind; that's the point I'm trying to make; since the feature is there and since it can be disabled (if so desired) why removing it ?
