Default OT. new antispam laws in the US

The message
from (jane) contains these words:

/snip/

Unfortunately, occasionally I delete a genuine mail from someone who
hasn't mailed me before. *sigh*


I think I'm going to have to switch to a different username and bin
anything to jane. That should remove the rest of the spam or at least
make it 100% filterable.


Having a genuine address and using it for usenet posts is asking for
trouble. Having a valid address and using it as a spamtrap is an
excellent idea, but remember to code a reply-to ad somewhere near your
sig if you want any genuine replies.
