Honeypots are a very good way for detecting as well as for deflecting attacks on any organization’s network.The pots are created to check the motives and the way of attacking employed by notorious hackers.These pots are added inside organization’s network.These are traps.
"One very practical implication of this is that honeypots designed to thwart spam by masquerading as systems of the types abused by spammers to send spam can categorize the material they trap 100% accurately: it is all illicit. A honeypot needs no spam-recognition capability, no filter to separate ordinary e-mail from spam. Ordinary e-mail never comes to a honeypot." taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honeypot_%28computing%29
