% Yep - you _do_ have a point, but I use the dummy login as an autoresponder
Of course, if you already have one, then it probably *is* the easier way
to go ;-)
% anyway ... and this way, my _real_ mail id is not exposed to all and
% sundry :)
Ahhh... A good point, to be sure.
%
% I have several accounts aliasing to my real address, which is extensively
% filtered, btw ... and I prefer it this way for these reasons. YMMV :)
I'd probably be of about the same viewpoint, since I do, too (I counted
them the other day for ssome need and was surprised at how many!). So
I'd write the script to allow a -f parameter and to be smart enough to
look for the To: address ;-)
Hmmm... This is starting to sound like a fun little hack, except I
don't like the idea of DSN in the first place so I'm not likely to bother.
