Re: ADMINISTRIVIA: problems with spam-block addresses



[Mod. note: I'd like to draw discussion of spam-blocks to a close
here, as it's off-topic. Thanks to those who sent helpful suggestions
on how to get around the problem -- mjh]

Isn't the advantage of using something like 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>that it is recognised as 
an invalid address, so even if a spammer uses it, it won't be 
propagated?
I don't see mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] but I still have to 
clear it out of my mailbox.
