My experience on compromised addresses says I would receive spam in most definitely less than years, and even months, but I put addresses on business web sites and used to do so without javascript protection. I think I will just use 3-7 day dated addresses on public websites. I thought someone would tell me something like "2 weeks is too long, one week is ok", etc, but I guess spammers just like me. ;-) Thanks for your input everyone. _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
