Interesting way of trapping spam, but it's not the normal way of sending
e-mail. if you want to reach others you should not hide behind fake
e-mail addresses or any undocumented and not-well-known trick to catch spam.
Please just send the e-mails as *you*. We'd like to know who is posting
to the mailinglist. It also gets rid of the double e-mails sent to you too.
