heh... there are some other tricks to achieve that; but the PBtrap does not need to "seed" an address, it will automatically generate traps from non-existing, yet "heavily" (it all depends from your ASSP settings) email addresses; anyways, another trick which can be used on "corporate" or in any case "large" networks is to insert into all the computers contacts list one address which will never be used but which will point to a "trap" (and btw if you want to be really "careful" you may even generate a different trap for each box) at that point, if a machine gets compromised or infected and the addresses it contains added to whatever spamlist, it will be easy to catch the bad-guys and (if you used "personal" traps) even to know "where" they got a given address :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Assp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/assp-user
