   First, I can't believe you are expecting people to remove the NO-SPAM from your
   address, when you are requesting people mail you.  Not cool.

Also unnecessary!  A .procmailrc filter that checks if the "To:"
address is really you (sendmail relies on the header info to deliver)
essentially wipes 80% of spam before it hits the mailbox.  That
statistic is determined by Usenet testing a 'spambait' address at this
domain.  http://www.clouddancer.com/spam has an example. (Yes, I'm not
an HTML user).

Plus anyone with minor perl knowledge has no problem generating a
mailing list from 'NO-SPAM' addresses with a simple substitution.

Stopping spam is easy, without requiring 'change my email address to
reply' beliefs.  Email filters have been around for decades, long
before spam existed.
