I'm curious Chris, Have you had many of the online site email addresses leaked?

Then filter incoming mail to that address, so that if it was not a post to the nznog list it gets dumped. I do this already for all my mailing lists, for example, I receive all nznog email via nznog(a)ml.cw.f00f.org --- and I can tell you from experience this wonderful scheme of mine casues many problems :( I also use this for routing, so if somebody wanted to be malicious, they could spam that address and it would get automagically routed and stored in my nznog mailing list --- at which time I move to me next greatest scheme :) Similarly, I use cw+<blah>@f00f.org sort of thing for online sites, to I can track if given email addresses leak and such like, all very crude right now, but I've considered something much more complex where I would email using <nouce>@cw-mail.f00f.org sort of thing so I could track individual messages and replies to them on a per message basis, but it hardly seems worth the effort. The biggest problem being that I can't post to mailing lists as cw(a)f00f.org unless they have a pst-only type list (which nznog does, but most lists do not). --cw - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
