Hi John,

The .invalid hack seems fine, no bounces, and no complaints about
disappearing mail. There are mutant versions of this hack where you
append a name with a wildcard that resolves but has an MTA that
rejects all the mail, and a really evil one where you append a name
that points to a server that rewrites the address and remails it, e.g.
[email protected] -> [email protected].
For replies, I expected complaints, since I'm using it on some busy
lists for my church where people complain about every little burp, but
to my surprise I've gotten none. I think one reason is that you can
still use an unmunged Reply-To, which a lot of users do, and the other
is that it's pretty obvious what to do to get the address to work,
unlike trying to guess the author's address if the From: is the list.
Was there any occurrence of the ".invalid" in replies which were
posted to the mailing list [1]?

1. I assume that it would be caught on message submission. I am
asking the question as what happens in practice might be different.
