Protect your sender reputation by identifying spam trap addresses.
What are Spam Traps?
Spam traps are email addresses used by ISPs and anti-spam organizations to identify senders with poor list hygiene. Types include:
Pristine Traps
Addresses that were never used by real people. They're created specifically to catch scrapers and purchased lists.
Recycled Traps
Old, abandoned email addresses repurposed as traps. They catch senders who don't clean their lists.
Typo Traps
Common misspellings of popular domains (e.g., gmial.com, yahooo.com).
