Indeed. > I'd like to see this TMDA addition, but only as a "nice to have" > feature. Yeah, I think it would be of limited usefulness. Probably the only type of tagged address that makes sense in NNTP use 'dated', and that is less useful there since addresses are harvested so quickly. Also, many newsreaders allow you to set your From address using an external program (tmda-address in this case). Lastly, direct replies aren't as common in newsgroups are they are in mailing lists and e-mail in general. > After all, you could just put your regular email address as sender > address when you post to newsgroups, and then let those who really > want to reply to you go through the usual TMDA email confirmation > business. Sure, or if you'd like to reduce confirmation requests even further, post using your bare address and use the Message-ID trick discussed in FAQ 5.5. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
