I suppose everybody here knows what greytrapping is and why no spamd
setup is really complete without at least Bob Beck's uatraps in its
config.  But then some of do our own local greytrapping, and I for one
have been exporting the contents of my local-greytrap once per hour to
a publicly accessible location for the benefit of anybody who wants to
use the information.

I assume there are others out there who do their own greytrapping, and
it might be a good thing for all of us if the data generated at those
various locations was made available to others.  The data would likely
overlap quite a bit with established sources such as uatraps and
nixspam, but more likely than not we would be catching a few that
would otherwise slip through the cracks.

So I'm considering setting up a consolidated greytrap list to
supplement uatraps and others, if other greytrappers out there are
willing to share their data.  

My list is available at [1], with a the list of trap addresses and
some description at [2], with a policy statement of sorts at [3] (I
imagine I would require a similar statement from any participants),
and various field notes available at my blog (see the signature).

Would something like this be useful?  Any comments and feedback
(including why this would be a monumentally stupid idea) welcome.
