[Air-L] Setting Up a Honeypot

[Maurice Vergeer]

I don't think that's a good idea. I just checked a gmail account I set up
over a year ago, without using it. And no spam turned up. Google has one of
the best spam detection software there is. Most of it will not even reach
your spam folder. On a daily basis, my regular gmail account only shows 4
to 5 spam emails.
The best think might be to setup a emailserver without a spam filter. Then
make sure to publish your email on a webpage and maybe in some discussion
groups and wait.

Another more sophisticated option seems to do the job you want:
https://github.com/shiva-spamphttps://github.com/shiva-spampot/shiva I have
no experience with the software but you might want to setup a VM and try it
out.

hope that helps.
