Spam Traps & Honeypots
An email address that has never given permission to an email marketer to send to the address. Due to this any messages sent to this address are immediately considered unsolicited leading to its submission to one or more DNSBL site's. Honey pot addresses, which are email addresses created and spread across websites, forums etc. waiting to be scraped or harvested by spammers. Some organizations involved in fighting spam put specific email addresses on websites that do not belong to real users and are decoys setup to monitor, collect and catch spammers.
