Hi!
I think that the addresses I defined as honeypot are included in the "List of Mail Addresses Used" in the email I receive from the server every day, we have a license for 1000 addresses and I see that the server "thinks" that we are using about 700 addresses while I think that we're using only 500 addresses and the rest are honeypot addresses. Is it supposed to be this way? what will happen when it will reach 1000?
Yuval.

Honeypot addresses are also counted against the license.
Mails to recipient addresses exceeding the licensed count are not checked for spam
but delivered unfiltered.
You can upgrade to an unlimited recipeints license to avoid that.

Well, Isn't that some sort of a bug? I mean those honeypot addresses are not real and the email sent to them doesn't really go anywhere so why count them against the license?

He's got a point. Since NST is a smtp proxy program, only count the e-mail addresses that are accepted by the downstream mail server. I.E. count e-mail address after the last filter... that would solve the problem.
I would certainly like this also. I'd like to load up about 100 of the most common dictionary attack e-mails. Even though I only have about five real e-mail addresses. But currently that would be cost prohibitive...

> Do Spamtrap addresses have to exist?
No, they are accepted by NoSpamToday! itself without contacting the outgoing mail server.

> Will Spamtrap addresses always count towards licensing?
Most likely spamtrap addresses will not be counted against the license beginning with NoSpamToday! Version 3.
