    Sugarplum is an automated spam-poisoner. Its purpose is to feed
    realistic and enticing, but totally useless or hazardous data to
    wandering address harvesters such as EmailSiphon, Cherry Picker,
    etc. The idea is to so contaminate spammers' databases as to
    require that they be discarded, or at least that all data
    retrieved from your site (including actual email addresses) be
    removed.

    Sugarplum employs a combination of Apache's mod_rewrite URL
    rewriting rules and perl code. It combines several anti-spambot
    tactics, includling fictitious (but RFC822-compliant) email address
    poisoning, injection with the addresses of known spammers (let them
    all spam each other), deterministic output, and "teergrube"
    spamtrap addressing.

    Sugarplum tries to be very difficult to detect automatically,
    leaving no signature characteristics in its output, and may be
    grafted in at any point in a webserver's document tree, even
    passing itself off as a static HTML file. It can optionally operate
    deterministically, producing the same output on many requests of
    the same URL, making it difficult to detect by comparison of
    multiple HTTP requests.

    Sugarplum is free software, distributed under terms of the GPL.
