Hmm... I have a thought. Buy a $5.00 misc domain. Use that domain for
spamtraps and stuff bogus-user at spamtrap.tld into spammers' unsub forms.
Point the MX records for that domain to 164.62.7.63-65 and 164.62.7.25.
The only question that remains is will they accept all mail destined for
any user at any domain? :) I done all of that with the exception of the
MX trickery on a couple other domains. I used them for auto-reporting
though, nothing more. I wonder if it would work.
