There are many good arguments for and against automated reporting, which you can find in the archives. One thing to bear in mind is that spam traps play a part in many of the other excellent anti-spam technologies which you should be using in addition to Razor, where they are better suited. > There are many possible definitions of spam.

There's even a name[2] for putting spam trap addressed on web pages for harvesting and at least one popular tool to help with the job[3].
