At time of writing, that was 113 hours ago. Since then, 180, messages have been sent to the honeypot, of which 55 would have passed as legitimate emails. Clearly, then, the technique works as an anti-spam measure.

Thoughts, anyone?
Thumbs up for the "early worm detection" part, nothing else to say. Just a quick note about the bayesian filtering and the SMTP honeypot part. Could it be possible to have multiple of such computer installed in a few places on the net, and have their spam hashed, processed through a bayesian filter, put in common and offered to the community as a downloadable initialization package for your very personal bayesian filter? By feeding the system with spam from all over the world, it could end up as being very effective, and improve the results of a bayesian filter. Just my 0.02 eurocents. Nicolas STAMPF
