I do that mostly because I had strong suspicions a few years ago that my email address was sold by a vendor. This way if I get 3rd party spam addressed to supplier-* addresses I will know who the offender is. It also helps protect me from situations like this one with didx. I have sent this to trendmicro.com sales reps many times this year: "John is no longer here.The mailbox is still up in order to receive customer messages. Please stop sending mail to this domain." You would think a company that pretends to be such computer security wizards would not want clueless windows noobtard losers using outlook for mailing lists in the sales department. _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Biz mailing list Asterisk-Biz@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-biz
