The email account that's I'm using to subscribe to this list an alias of the real
account. There is no user by the name of gp on my system.
But I do note in the Delivered-To it has the email address that I'm subscribed with:
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Might want to check that out. Known out qmail works, you can safely see that the
email address it was sent to was [EMAIL PROTECTED], my email address.
So in a sense, it does have your emial address in every email message, you just have
to know where to look ..
Besides, you could always bounce all messsages that contain [EMAIL PROTECTED] in
the To:, CC:; or BCC: header lines. ;)
