That's why spam traps are so effective.
What if somebody malicious (ie a spammer wishing to bring your
blacklist into disrepute) enters your spamtrap address at a website
registration of the type which sends a 'confirmation email'?
I already explained multiple times that a *single* spam trap hit won't cause a
*good* blacklist to list the sending IP address, especially if that IP address
has sent legitimate mail in the past. 'nuff said.
Or, what if a spammer uses your spamtrap address as the return-path at
an innocent third-party MTA and for any reason the mail bounces?
SPF would prevent the 3rd-party MTA from bouncing (or even accepting) such an
obviously forged message.
