I'm curious Chris,

Have you had many of the online site email addresses leaked?

I do this already for all my mailing lists, for example, I receive all
nznog email via nznog@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@f00f.org unless they have a pst-only type list (which nznog does,
but most lists do not).
