hi, i did try using the tmda-address program to generate a keyword, but
when I send email to that address, the email goes into a feedback loop. (I
posted earlier about that issue).

therefore, i wanted to try to get around it in a way. if an email is sent
to an invalid address at my domain, it goes into my [EMAIL PROTECTED]
account. I have tmda running on that, so there is protection. e.g. if you
sent something to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it would go to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], tmda would send an auto-response confirmation email
back to the sender. if you reply, the sender is validated and the email
goes through.

what i want to do is set up a few keyworded addresses so that if you sent
an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it would bypass tmda C/R and deliver the
message. if the keyword gets spammed, then just turn off the keyword in
the filters list. i feel like i can particularly do this because all
invalid email address names are dumped to [EMAIL PROTECTED] anyway.
