Indeed, I also don't like address munging, the real effective thing is to catch the message, report the full message (including headers, "Reply-To" and "Message-ID") to the domain owner from which the spam originated (both those listed in "From" and and "Reply-To" fields) and *only as a last resort* blacklist the domain (although this blacklisting must be done with care so that it's always transparent enough as to have ways of contact (through email again!) which allows the domain owner to get whitelisted again and allows the legitimate users of that domain to receive a detailed message when their email was processed differently by the email service provider who provides it to the recipient). In the case of most known service providers, this doesn't happen. When I send messages to someone, it goes to spam but I get no mention or status notification as to whether it went to inbox or to spam and why.
Also, I just noticed that the forums munge everything that has an @. However, it isn't my doing. 2017-11-23T10:34:54+0100 [email protected] wrote: > http://www.interhack.net/pubs/munging-harmful/ >
