spam bait n.
Email addresses included in, or comprising the entirety of, a usenet message so that spammers mining a newsgroup with an [address harvester] will collect them. These addresses can be people who have offended or annoyed the poster, or who are included so that a spammer will spam an official, thereby causing himself trouble. One particularly effective form of spam bait is the address of a [teergrube].
