1. create several email accounts 2. use these accounts to post messages to many forums, news groups, blogs, etc. 3. do a search for so-called "job sites" that are thinly veiled email harvesters and post resumes for the email accounts 4. on a public facing website, put lots of documents so that robots can harvest the email addresses 5. while surfing the most obviously unscrupulous sites you can find, click on all the popups and enter the honey email addresses 6. make sure the honeypot is listening on smtp AND the messaging ports (1025-1030, I believe)
This will all work, though all I had to do was create one email address and post it as a mailto: link on one web site and it started gettting tons of spam, etc...
