Spamtrap addresses?
Interestingly, I've been watching my logs closely for the past month or so, and though the spamtraps catch some, it's not near as much as many other methods. Here's a representative example from 11/24 (I just did a find on the phrases listed):
cbl.abuseat.org: 11572 dynablock.easynet.nl 2513 sbl.spamhaus.org 565 relays.ordb.org 76 opm.blitzed.org 8
total RBL: 14734
Failed to verify 2623 suspected in harvesting 2029 rejected: user unknown 365 spamtrap address 664 does not exist
total other rejections: 5681
grand total rejected: 20415
delivered 3540 % of total delivered 14.7777082
So spamtraps are catching just a couple % of the total spam load on our server. Admittedly, 660 less spam is still 660 less spam, but compared to a total of over 20,000, it's not that big a difference. If PostFix has (or will get) other, better methods of spam reduction, spamtraps will not be sorely missed here.
