Andy, In my case, it's fed straight into the email server's dictionary. Extracting the domains & URLs that are (by definition) required by a spammer to advertise can then be analyses and scored, just like any other word/phrase. It's quite effective (even if I did find my first three false positives this morning.. out of 18873 emails. 144 of which could *only* be determined to be spam because they were sent to the honeypot..) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Streule" <andy.streule () lythamhigh lancs sch uk> To: <honeypots () securityfocus com> Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 4:12 PM Subject: honeypots as spam traps
