I have spent getting on for 30 years running 'Internet' connectivity (initially UUCP mail and USENET, etc). If stopping SPAM was easy it would have already happened. All sorts of honeypot schemes already exist and are in place to make SPAMming more expensive and difficult than it otherwise would be (paper mail, voice and email), automated and manual.
Not to say that you shouldn't try, but I think that you should research harder what is already being done.
- danieloloughlin 3y agoI agree Damon, a lot more nuance that needs to be looked into here
- bediger4000 3y agoHow much honey potting goes on?
- JohnFen 3y agoI don't know how common it is generally, but I do it myself. It's extremely effective for detecting spam sent to email addresses scraped off of websites.
- tendto 3y agoA simple approach is to require a high enough fee to send that makes spam unprofitable.
