His program, spamhole, creates a false 'open relay' that the spammer thinks he/she can send messages through. The messages then get sent nowhere, and the spammer has no idea. "spamhole is an open project. Hopefully, through user's and developer's contributions, we will amass a collection of spamhole implementations spanning all commonly used platforms, programming languages, etc. Ease of configuration and use are the primary objectives, for the easier to use by the non-techical layperson the implementations are, the more widely adopted and used spamhole will become.""

Users should feel that they can do their part in the fight against spam by running an easy to use and configure spamhole. Of secondary importance are additional features which may or may not be common to all implementations. Please join the developer mailing list for further discussion!
Now that's a very smart idea.

I know that the topic of using fake stmp relays was mention in one of the posts. But I saw that no one mention this program though. So I thought that you guys might find this info interesting. Hope that you guys like it.
