But it makes mailing list archives harder to use for genuine users - for those times when you find someone who had the same problem in the past - but never got an answer - do you really wan to dig around for passwords on a strange site just to find out the address is dead, or no answer was found? So I don't think it is "unnecessary". Using a genuine email address isn't an invitation either - I'm sure you didn't mean to imply it was ;-) Resource consumption is an interesting one but it needs to be a "lot of spam" to be take any noticable resource cost, versus time from my life. Indeed should people with effective antispam solutions encourage spammers to waste their available resources spamming ineffectively? As this undermines the spammers economic model.
