I don't have anything constructive to add to the first point, as I'm mostly indifferent.
In general, my spam filters are so good that I haven't noticed any increase in the amount of spam to the list, so I will have to give you the benefit of the doubt on that statement ;-) This one time, at band camp, Peter Rundle wrote: >2. The originators e-mail should not be in the header of the message. I don't like this; what would you put in place? I frequently receive private email to posts on SLUG, and making people jump through hoops to reply to me directly would severly limit that. I collect email addresses into my addressbook automatically using lbdb, so if the from address was rewritten then it would taint my own collection and make it worthless for me when I want to compose a private message to somebody on SLUG. It would require that I contact them somehow out of band to get their address. We had a discussion about community on Friday night at the meeting, and my gut reaction to this proposal is that it clips the wings of the mechanics of that community that we are trying to protect and uphold.
