The way I do this is by setting up all my mail clients (mulberry, mozilla, pine) so that the Bcc header is always set to something like this Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then I have Procmail set up to automatically snarf the addresses in the To and Cc headers and add them to my greenlist. I talk about this a bit in my Spam Deflexion Flowchart, which is here <http://www.ii.com/internet/messaging/spam/#flowchart> in the section that looks like this: Sent to one of my secret magnet-updater addresses (possibly via Bcc or "bounce forward")? || || yes || \/ magnet-updater program (updates blue & green magnets) || || yes || \/ magenta (magnet) box I also talk about this a bit in my Procmail Quick Start in the section: <http://www.ii.com/internet/robots/procmail/qs/#virtualDomain> when I give an example recipe that starts like this :0: * ^X-Rcpt-To:[EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm hoping that this year I'll clean up my scripts and put them on my web site!
