      Add spam trap E-mail address:

      if I add a spamtrap email called spamtrap@mydomain.com do I also need to create such user in my email server ?

      nextMTA

      my internal ip address for mailserver is 10.1.10.10  is this the IP I would add to nextMTA ?

      Thanks

        No, basically if a email address is the to: address then SpamD knowns to add this servers IP to the trapped database and then further connections from that mail server will be trapped in a great tarpit which looks like a 110 baud modem communication, wasting the cpu cycles of the mail server in question.  It's neat.

        Yep.
