Nice! I like things that keep spammers and scammers busy.

My own low-effort method is to accept mail for any domain on my name servers. Spammers think they are relaying their scams but it just goes to a flat text file. It isn't like I try to hide it. The banner even says its a honeypot and not to use it.

    139K /var/spool/mail/vhosts/crap
    24K  /var/spool/mail/vhosts/crap
    177K /var/spool/mail/vhosts/crap
    196K /var/spool/mail/vhosts/crap
That's 4 days of spam/scams.
