A tarpit is a system that sits on your network and looks at connection
attemps that shouldn't be happening, like portscans or connection
attemps on ports you don't use. It then opens the TCP dialog but then
silently dies out, letting the connecting system use up its resources
trying to connect, but not getting any kind of errors or drops.

I think you could also use a discard in your MTA to loose mails for
certain addresses without sending any errors or other messages. Kind of
how a teenager just seems to be listening when you talk.
