How would the Gurus infect a spam bot?

I'm just a lurker round here, but I've come up with what looks to my
inexperienced eyes like a good idea. Went and put it in the signatures of
my various groups, so there it is down below.

No doubt not everyone has the same loopback address (and I'm just barely
beginning to discern what that term means), and I suppose it wouldn't take
a particularly clever spam bot for it to not spam itself ...

Isn't there a way in which the general idea could be made to work, though?
If we all had either malicious junk email addresses somewhere where the
innocent could not be harmed by them, wouldn't the spam bots pick these up
and inflict harm on their masters?

Please send me spam at the following addresses: 78997@127.0.0.1
09380r@127.0.0.1 joe@127.0.0.1 ... couldn't W3whaddever supply plausible
devnull email addresses on request? Load your pages with a junk harvest.
Have these set up on 1Bps connections so the spam queue has a lot of
waiting to do there. </newbiespeak signature>

I'm not shure what the general idea is but the loopback address is
always the same...
