This raises a question with regards to address harvesting and dictionary attacks on imail: Does Declude (or any other option) reduce or prevent address harvesting and dictionary attacks?
The basic question is: Is having a legit email address (discovered by a dictionary attack) sufficient to deliver spam to that address? Indiscutably, no. So don't sweat harvesting.
The real problem with harvesting is very high delivery rates directly into a mailbox server, exhausting resources.
The best harvesting defense of a mailbox server is an MX box absorbing the attack and passing only msgs to known users on the mailbox server.
Imail nobody@ aliases are obviously serious vulnerabilities.
