To actually get any replys, I *expect* you to send emails with a valid sender address. So please, go, correctly configure your email system to tar-pit the senders of SPAM and/or get a properly configured spam filter into your local delivery. ...and what did you actually mean with "corrupt the address"? Either it works, or it doesn't. Those dirty tricks (adding __REMOVE_THIS__ somewhere or "user -at- some dot domain dot uk" don't work anymore, so that's pointless. Putting a correctly incorrect address in place or removing it alltogether only makes it harder to reply to you in a year or two. Some people actually *read* archives to educate themselves and sometimes like to ask those that initially posted...
