About the Email Spam Trap Checker

A spam trap is an address that exists only to catch senders who did not get permission. Hitting one can move you onto a blocklist in a single send, and no honest tool can hand you a list of them — the whole point is that nobody publishes where they are.

What can be done is flagging the shapes traps take. Monitoring accounts like abuse@, postmaster@ and spam@ are checked, along with reserved and placeholder domains, unattended mailboxes, and local parts that look machine-generated rather than chosen by a person.

Just as importantly, the page is direct about the kind it cannot see: a recycled trap is an ordinary address that was abandoned and repurposed, and it looks exactly like a real one. The defence against those is not a checker but list hygiene, which is spelled out on the page.

Frequently asked questions

Not reliably, and be wary of one that says it can. Trap addresses are deliberately unpublished, and a recycled trap is indistinguishable from a normal address. What a tool can do is flag the patterns traps often take, which is what this does.
