address harvesting analysis idea

["Peter Galbavy" <peter.galbavy () knowtion net>]

While sitting here watching bad TV, I had a thought(tm).

Has anyone set-up a generic web-page, not linked from anywhere useful, which
autogenerates a "contact e-mail" address (like deadbeef () example com) and
logs which IP reads what address (even using the remote IP as the username
to provide) and then waits for the address to be used for SPAM ?

Is there any use in doing this (to try to identify who is harvesting) ?

Maybe I should go and eat some food, cool my head down.
