Yes granted. I never said it was easy for sure. But even a simple match

So, may be I could register a sex attractive domain and use that for a
spam trap! (:>

block drop from !<table_of_hosts> to any

Could be nice, but may sure not be trivial either.

  in the meantime, have you considered handling this yourself and just
using

looking

I put Bob PERL script in use and so far, I have only very nice things to
say about it! Make the full spamd system much more efficient and as he
describe it. It is deadly! (;>

  i'm using the following to add bullshit addresses to the greytrap,
probably
  could kill the 'zegrep' vs. 'egrep' stuff because it looks like zegrep
  gracefully handles non gzipped stuff, but whatever.

Adding a long list of variation emails is sure doable and not a huge
problem. I was just thinking that having list of emails not in use trap
would be nice.

But Bob new script does support LDAP for email accounts and would do
that as well. So, I guess I need to setup an LDAP server and try it then.

Should be fun! (:>

Thanks, I will have a look, but I have to say, I LOVE Bob PERL script
here:

This is a joy to run!

Thanks Bob!

Best,

Indeed Bobbs script is a joy to run. But as he said it is a prototype! For example if ones connection to the Internet is temporary down, the script will interpret the missing result of the MX-lookup as a reason to trap a legit grey entry.
