Ok, what about [EMAIL PROTECTED] for [EMAIL PROTECTED] . This will
"look" legitimate and should be obvious.
The only problem I have with this idea is in Outlook Express the actual
e-mail address is hidden if a name is used. In order to edit the e-mail
address, you need to view the properties, copy the e-mail address, then
paste the e-mail address in the to: field. People may find this to be
cumbersome and annoying. Plus many, many people will forget. As of now, I
have not received a single negative comment about the idea.
Idea #2:
How about prepending a line to the message that says something like:
Posters e-mail address is: paul98-at-nobody.com
and leave the reply address blank/invalid. So if you press reply or
reply-all you send a reply back to the list. You need to manually type in
the e-mail address from the text in the e-mail to reply to the sender.
Again cumbersome but more obvious.
Idea#3:
Close the list and force people to use their real name to join. Maybe
charge a nominal fee forcing the subscriber to give a credit card or some
other type of identification.
Again, this issue is with people posting via the mailing list or newsfeed.
You may always read/reply to this group from a webpage and bypass these
problems. The webpage subscription page offers you the ability to type in
two e-mail addresses. One for validation/subscription usage and the second
as the from: address when posting the message. You can simply choose to
give an invalid from: address or not supply any address at all.
Take care,
Paul
