At the moment I have several of them that receive email for just about any domain. Their banner says they are a honeypot and to not use them. I absorb thousands of spam emails per day per server. Spammers unfortunately no longer blast emails out as fast as they can or I would be accepting more. To accept more I would need to spin up a few hundred more VM's. I also use those servers as a temporary email address. Not really temporary, I mean they will keep accepting emails for a swath of my domains forever but I can go grep for specific senders to get a link or a code.
To my surprise I can still send emails from those nodes. I was expecting to be blocked but since I deliver all the spam to a flat file in a ram disk they don't seem to get listed anywhere. So I use them at times for automated emails and reminders or for reaching out to known shady companies.
