--lots snipped--- Stefan I use the same trick you do for disposable email addresses, but in a slightly different way. All of the addresses are in the form "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". I set the prefix to something like "neil" and I set the suffix to indicate who I gave the address to. So for example I could use "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" for my postings here (I don't, but I could!). I have a single router entry: <prefix-*> = realaddress which dumps all of the same prefixes into a single account. By looking at the suffix I can tell who has sent me the mail or who has passed it on to a spammer. If one of the addresses becomes a spam magnet, I simply create a new router entry: <prefix-thespammagnet> = spamtrap I use it as a spamtrap address because that increases the chances of trapping other spam that is block addressed. I also have created two real accounts called "closed" and "full". As you might expect, I have closed the "closed" account and set the size limit on the "full" account to zero. I can route undesirable senders to either one, but I have found that they don't seem to deter spammers. At least with a spamtrap address I can stop other spam.
