In my case it was not effective. After running a low volume site (~1000/day) for 6 months, I had very few repeat offenders caught by the spam trap. I did find some, but most were mainly bot spam coming from different IP's. On the negative side, I found several legitimate outgoing mail servers from COX and comcast that I had to whitelist after they were being used to hit my spamtraps multiple times. I found that simply rejecting the unknown users and parsing the logs over time I could find which netblocks to block if any.
