What does munged mean?


Disfigured so as to guard the /real/ eddress from the spambots. Some
people munge their eddress in different ways, such as:





All will avoid the spambots, BUT the last one is incorrect because it
leaves the ISP's name and any spam mail sent to the eddress will,
therefore, sit on the mail server until it is either delivered (not
likely) or deleted by the server which can take weeks depending upon how
the server is configured. The rest correctly munge the ISP name so mail
goes directly to the trash instead of sitting around taking up server
space while delivery is attempted over and over again.

See you around the Caldrun.
