I've been spammed like crazy after going on Usenet on an unprotected
account. By that I mean, that I had my e-mail address in the "From:" and
"Reply-to:" fields. To go around this you can put a blank space (leandro
@ifront.com for example).
At least in the mailing lists like this one there isn't that much of a worry
for spamming =)
Perhaps we could have that the mail program checks the domain from where the
mail is coming from, and if the domain is invalid it rejects the mail.
