There are companies that have commercialized spamtraps and at least 2 of the delivery monitoring companies will tell you when you’ve hit a trap. In other cases, some compliance folks will data mine to find spamtrap domains when a blacklist is telling them that they are listed due to spamtrap hits. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person who has identified various spamtrap accounts over the years. In one instance with a client, they were using one of the aforementioned delivery monitoring companies and saw a “pristine trap" hit. They were able to identify the specific address as the company provides the full text of the message. They had recent (within a few weeks) click data from that address and a purchase within a few months. Folks I trust have also shared similar stories with me. Addresses that are traps show click activity the week before. No, I don’t have permission to share examples. But this was discussed at M3AAWG earlier this month and multiple people confirmed they had evidence. laura -- Having an Email Crisis?
