Watch the system log files for message sent to spam honeypots.

It looks for the following kind of message line:

Lines like this can be generate by forwarding mail to a program like:

 #!/bin/sh 
 perl -e '
        $x = <>; 
        while (<>) { 
                last if /^$/; 
                next unless /^(Message-I[dD]: .*)/; 
                $y = $1; 
        } 
        print "$y\n" 
                if      $x =~ /\@/ 
                        && $y =~ /\@/ 
                        && $x !~ /mailer-daemon/i 
                        && $x !~ /postmaster/ ;
