Just had an idea. (And no it didn't hurt)

What if everyone had a page on the web site full of email address's (fake ones).
If you could get 1000's or maybe even 10's of thousands to do this would it help in fighting spam.

check out mine and let me know if this would be a good idea.

Already been done. But the spammers don't care about sending a few thousand e-mails out to fake addresses as long as they get one to a valid e-mail address.

Another idea I've seen is Project Honey Pot, which generates e-mail addresses on the fly as spam bots pick them up, then if spam is sent to that address, they can track the IP of the harvester.
