Spam defence - honney mail

In the eternal war of mosquitoes and mosquito nets there is one line surrendered to spamers — open publishing of E-mail addresses in the net fraught with heap of spam. So, that's why peoples pervert like michael at googlemail.com and so on.

And what if together with own address give a special address with the explanation: «Do not write here please, mail sent to this address will be considered spam automatically

Spambot will take both, and all the mail sent to the second address will be automatically used for spam filter instructions for the first one. Since spam in the first and in the second box will be probably very alike, it is possible to set very high selection threshold to spam filter. Probability to lose right mail will decrease.

The most interesting is that problem for the spammers - to separate the correct e-mail from the front one, seems to be completely analogous to the problem of spam filtering.
