Spam Trap

Spam trap is a method that plants email addresses in places where spammers look for address lists to trap spammers. The planted email addresses are not meant for actual use and are generally unknown.

All emails received by the planted email addresses are considered spam. These are logged as events are based on the sender IP/domain information contained in the message.
