Well, we have different concepts of what "difficult" is. For me that's much more difficult than training my bogofilter for a couple of days and rest in peace leaving my real address *anywhere* without even bothering to obfuscate it in any way. See? [email protected], [email protected]. :P If someone ever publishes your e-mail address in a website all your life's hard work of keeping your real address clean goes to the trash in a blink, and you can't just throw it away. > You'd be surprised just how few leaks there really are to email > harvesters.

That was not my experience, I even got spam in addresses I never give to ANYONE, not a single human being, and no machine. There are bots that are really trying popular usernames in domains they know they have a lot of users. -- Leandro Lucarella (AKA luca) http://llucax.com.ar/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GPG Key: 5F5A8D05 (F8CD F9A7 BF00 5431 4145 104C 949E BFB6 5F5A 8D05) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This homeless guy asked me for some money the other day.
