That's a lot of work, there's a much easier way
Just search your /var/log/maillog for user unknown messages, and
create email addresses for the unknown users which are showing up
multiple times over multiple days. It's a great trick because it gets
spammers who already have email addresses in their
spamlists and who are too lazy to remove them when they get a
user unknown message from the mailserver.
I have a pretty old domain - I've seen user unknown messages for
users who cancelled mailboxes on the domain over a decade ago. I figure
10 years of getting user unknown messages is long enough for any real
humans and for legitimate mailing lists to remove those entries.

We are setting up some honeypot email addresses, and were wondering if
anyone here had tips on how to include those addresses on webpages and

We're currently going with a pretty simple <!-- honey...@example.com -->
HTML comment. Is that too obvious? Should we put it into a CSS invisible
div as well? Any other ideas?
