This honeypot is intended to help us keep spam away from the real mailboxes. The theory is quite simple. Once this page is found by web crawlers spammers will also know about it and the embedded mail address for Martin Schulze. When a mail is sent to this address, it's body will be extracted and an md5sum will be created. Every other received mail with the same checksum for its body will recognized as spam and thrown away.

This will help classify spam as such, but it will only work for spam that is received after it has hit the honeypot. I guess that it will be effective, but reality will have to prove.

This is not yet implemented but once it is, the system will be publically available for others to use. Currently, only this page and the address exists, waiting for the first spammer to use the address.
