I would be happy then :) -> .de
This might be true on a webpage or any other things. With nntp, you have the xover command, which will give you MID, From and some other headers, but not the Reply-To: header and not the body. Getting the whole article is much more expensive (whole headers + body). Therfore some usenet user (de.ALL at least...) are using a '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' in their From: and a frequently read address in the 'Reply-To:'. -> Spammers (mostly) get the 'not read' address, anybody, who wants to mail you privatly after reading your article will get the Reply-To: address. Anyway, I don't mind anymore with SpamAssassin... Jan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
