Re: [Asrg] rfc honeypot-in-addressbook technique

- traction - how likely are people to voluntarily put such addresses in 
their address books?  Not enough to matter.  Broader solutions are needed
- noise - how are you going to distinguish infestations versus users 
deliberately blasting their entire address book?

I'd be particularly worried about noise, since so many people seem
willing to let the social network du jour scrape their address book
and blast out invites to everyone.  That seems pretty spammy to me,
but I suspect many of the people who do it would disagree.

R's,
John
