Quite often, if you've been on the internet for a while, you'll have accumulated a few old email accounts that nowadays get nothing but spam. You can set these up as spam traps using [SpamAssassin]; see the _SPAM TRAPPING_ section of the \[http://spamassassin.org/doc/spamassassin.html spamassassin manual page\] for details. |
(Update: this will no longer work with SA 3.0.0, as we have removed the support for responding to emails automatically from within SpamAssassin; however, it should be possible to whip up some procmail to do it quite easily 
If you don't want to go to the bother of setting up a system yourself to do this, feel free to set up a simple alias to forward any mails to
<someaddress@spamtraps.taint.org> – replace "someaddress" with something to identify you, such as your email addr or website with non-alphanumeric chars replaced by underscores, or similar. (Please also send me a mail at jm - spamtraps at jmason dot org if you do this, so that I know who to contact if it starts going haywire, or the quality drops.)
