You specify a character usually defaulting to - as a seperator and then acceptable addresses bob bob- pete- for a domain like bobszz.net so bobszz.net can receive mail to b...@bobszz.net bob-canitrust...@bobszz.net bob-groupedascompanyc...@bobszz.net bob-anyth...@bobszz.net pete-anyth...@bobszz.net This means you can trace the causer of spam if you created a new address for each person. You know it's an enquiry from you business card if your businesss card is bob-c...@bobszz.net. You only need a single filter on to: rather than from: headers when a company or organisation sends you mail from multiple addresses and domains after submitting one address to a form. Such filters may even help users spot phishers forging the from. A little perl and it works with greytrapping and spamd too. Someone should put a spamd black on bobszz.net now ;@
