Spam Trap

The design principle behind a spam trap is very simple. A valid email is created and is kept private to the spam analyzer or legitimate persons. Besides the company or domain name itself, the email is not used anywhere for signing up for an online product or opting into a service. Since the email address is not configured, published or subscribed to receive email, all incoming emails are considered unsolicited or spam, which therefore helps to identify spam email and those who send it.
