While it may have nothing to do with the big provider, there are a lot of spambots that send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (where * is filled from some db, dictionary etc). I've had messages in the rlug mail archives ( a couple of differant addresses of course ) since 1998 and I've never recieved a piece of spam to those addresses. More accurately, I've never had a piece of spam show up at my addresses that were used specifically and only for rlug related communication. So who knows for sure ;)
