The  dummy  address should be available - else you'll receive an error
message  from  the  mailer  demon. If you put something like 'Just for
laughs', the mail server will try to reach the following addresses, if
your email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED] , [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If these addresses exist, you've just sent your message to people that
you never heard of!

To avoid this, I always put something like this in the TO-field:
  Dear friends <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
    (in  which  [EMAIL PROTECTED]  is  a  real  address that sends all
     received mails to /dev/null <g>)

So short,
Beat
