Even on Usenet, there are people who use "Reply-To" specifying a mailbox under the reserved ".invalid" TLD and other values like "example.com".
This is backwards. You put the anti-spam address in From: and the real address in Reply-to:. That's because the From: header is available when requesting headers for all new messages (typically used by spammers for address harvesting) but the Reply-to: header is only available when downloading entire messages (expensive in time for spammers). (Xnews lets you set these independently, and the "real" address is used for From: when replying to poster (by email).)
