Hi,

Sorry for the OT.

While a very happy postfix user, I still get a little SPAM in my inbox,
usually from a small business in .fr trying to sell a legtimate product.
One of my addresses has obviously landed in a database sold to these
companies.

For the sake of their education I'd like to show these companies how
annoying SPAM is, thus I am considering adding their reply-to address
to my web-site as a hidden mailto link on a special page dedicated to
exposing theses addresses to spiders. In time they will certainly land
in SPAM databases.

Or will they?

What is the best way to give these "legitimate" spammers a taste of
their own medicine by exposing their address?

Is there a special web-site/service that does just that already?
