2.4 I munge my address for spam-protection -- can I still post? (alt.tv.x-files.analysis)
Yes, you can. But before you munge, you should read
ftp://members.aol.com/emailfaq/mungfaq.txt. And while it is not required
that you put a human-readable version of your email address in your
footer, it is very much preferred by the moderator; otherwise I have no
way of getting into contact with you if a post is problematic. However you
choose to munge, it's best if you have it both unique to you and the same
from post to post; that way I can still preapprove you.
Some people use a trick of a From of postmaster@[127.0.0.1], in the hopes
of bouncing spam back to the originating system's postmaster. Please don't
do this; in the process of being forwarded to the moderation system, it
gets translated to postmaster of the forwarding system, who will probably
not appreciate getting email meant for you.
