  text: Spam has become one of the most annoying and costly phenomenon in the Internet.
    Valid e-mail addresses belong to the most valuable resources of spammers, but
    little is known about spammers? behavior when collecting and harvesting addresses
    and spammers? capabilities and interest in carefully directed, consumer-oriented
    marketing have not been explored yet. Gaining insight into spammers? ways to obtain
    and (mis)use e-mail addresses is useful in many ways, e.g. for the assessment
    of the effectiveness of address obscuring techniques and the usability and necessity
    of hiding e-mail addresses on the Internet. This paper presents a spam honeypot
    project in progress addressing these issues by systematically placing e-mail addresses
    in the Internet and analyzing received e-mails. The honeypot?s conceptual framework,
    its implementation, and first empirical results are presented. Finally, an outlook
    on further work and activities is provided.
