Here's a sender address you can use to email me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I generated that address just for you just now; you can't create it yourself because it's based on a random secret I have. No one else can use that address to email me. When TMDA sees a message to that address, it checks where the email came from. If it came from you, it gets through. If it came from somewhere else, it's not so lucky. Now, say you give me a similar address. Pretend the address you give me is [EMAIL PROTECTED] When I send email to that address, it gets to you. If someone else sends email to that address, it won't reach you. They don't interfere with each other in any way. TMDA's tagged addresses are functional when they're the destination address. You add them to your outgoing mail so that people can use them to send to you. For instance, this email says "Reply-To: kyle-exp-...@", which is an address that anyone can use to email me until it expires. TMDA puts that address (which reaches me) on my outgoing mail because I have it configured that way. Hope this helps. - -- Kyle Hasselbacher When the lawnmower cuts your feet off, [EMAIL PROTECTED] don't come running to me. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAqS5e10sofiqUxIQRAm/yAKCIn6BvpkHkT5s4yb6n8iTvaxFrGwCfbDYB F8CijVbtJm7ZFQSgP4akotE= =TVPo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _____________________________________________ tmda-users mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://tmda.net/lists/listinfo/tmda-users
