While it is true that spammers can, and very easily, forge From addresses
and choose one of a legitimate member of the list, I've never actually seen
this happen in practice, and I've been running mailing lists for almost a
decade. Has anyone seen this happen? (a spammer sending mail to a list,
pretending to come from one of the legitimate subscribers)
If not, then this trick can still work, temporarily, until the spammers feel
it is worth they while to catch up...
