No, they don't. The hash in a dated adress is calculated using
crypt_key and the dated portion of the address only. Everything else
is ignored. E.g.:
$ tmda-address -d
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
$ tmda-check-address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
STATUS: VALID
EXPIRES: Thu Oct 21 20:29:29 2004 UTC
$ tmda-check-address [EMAIL PROTECTED]
STATUS: VALID

So if I share my crypt_key with my son, the first example
demonstrates how you'd use one of my dated addresses to send
email to my son. (Assuming of course, that his email address is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - which it isn't.)
The second example is simply there to demonstrate that the only
portion of the email address that the hash uses is the date.
Cheers,
