Discover honeypot addresses
To discover actual addresses for detection, examine your
syslog output for addresses that were rejected as
unknown. One way to do this might look like the following,
where the actual command is on huge line:
% cd /var/log
% grep "User unknown" syslog* | sed -e 's/.*<//' -e 's/>.*//' -e 's/\.\.\..*//' | sort | uniq -c | sort -n
Here, your mail log file might be called maillog
or something
else (see your /etc/syslog.conf file if in doubt). Partial output
of this command might look like this:
Since these hit your site, you should put the ones you find in
your slow.honey and /etc/mail/aliases files.
