I've discussed this with Syafril and we don't really see it as a huge
issue. IMHO address harvesting is more prevalent on UseNet than Web
and spam filtering is not too hard really.
If anyone on the list has any other views to express, I would be
pleased to hear from you. If it's just a 'Me too', you can send that
privately.
FYI, there was a topic of discussion a while back about replying to
sender instead of Reply-To. I do this very simply by using the
following method:
1) Reply to All
2) Quickly Remove Reply-To: address from CC:
Voila - a message addressed off list to the right person in no time.
Cheers,
Marck
