Actually over in the <news.software.readers> group a couple of years ago an individual did some testing. He found that harvesters often parse the "from" line only and NOT the "reply-to". Therefore at this point in time, the most effective way to spam protect is to use the following format. Notice the proper use of the "invalid" domain. One shouldn't use a remove spam tramp line. Ending in an invalid top level domain is the proper way to spam trap <ie>: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's the proper syntax and one won't receive much in the way of UCE, at least whenever the foregoing example is used. Now, my issue is that Mozilla and NN7 don't work properly doing this. Whenever I attempt to do this, with either, each post I respond to, sends MY followup, or composition to the "Reply-To". This is the only newsreader, e-mail client that has ever done this.
