I agree with this (even though the approach works for me beautifully).
I've had major success with postfix spamtraps. The basic idea:
for each address [EMAIL PROTECTED], add [EMAIL PROTECTED] (where 1 could be
anything that's not going to be in regular email addresses; I use
.tarpit) to whatever webpage.
on the postfix side, add a PCRE or regexp map entry to
check_recipient_access:
/^.+\.bogus@/ DISCARD is a tarpit (explicit)
profit.
The theory: spammers harvest addresses and [EMAIL PROTECTED] and
[EMAIL PROTECTED] are so close together that they are likely to be in the
same batch of mail sent out. Now if postfix receives
a multi-recipient mail, where [EMAIL PROTECTED] is one of the recipients,
it discards the whole mail.
Look at http://blog.madduck.net how I worked this in with HTML.
I guess one advantage of this is that everyone could do this
themselves, if they have a mail server they admin.
I'd love for @debian.org addresses to do something similar, e.g.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
