You don't even need to do that. Spamtrap addresses don't need to correspond to actual accounts on your server. By design, they'll never accept mail anyway. All that's needed is an appropriate entry in your SIMS router. E.g., if you wanted to make [EMAIL PROTECTED] into a spamtrap address, where yourdomain.tld is your SIMS' primary domain, you'd add this entry to your router:
die_spammer = spamtrap
That's it.
Whichever way I have to use this feature, can I embed these spamtrap addresses into my web pages, in addition to the email addresses I already have on it for public use, or not?
Absolutely. You can salt them wherever you think harvesting robots might pick them up.
Remember also that posting ANY email address on a website these days is going to result in an address harvesting robot picking it up.
We now use web-to-email forms exclusively, and carefully craft it so that the harversters won't ever see an email address - it isn't in the source code of any pages. (except for our spamtrap address, of course). If you absolutely have to put an email address on your page, make an image of it and link that to your contact page. That way, human eyes will be able to read it, but harvesters can't. For an example, see http://stewardshiparchitecture.com.
Also remember that posting to any forum which is archived on the web will make your account a target of the address harvesters. Use a throwaway address (like the one I'm using here), so that when the spam gets unmanageable, you can dump it and add it to your list of spamtrap addresses.
