Actually, the forged from field is common for a plethora of reasons:
Spammers,
Hackers who will Google your name (for newsgroups postings) in the hopes of
finding a way into your site
and high and mighty people like you that need to stop being so
condescending.
Strange, with such an attitude one would think you've already learned the
reason for using a forged field in newsgroups.
I'll have to make a duplicate page of my site one which works, and one which
doesn't and post it in the right group (mis-posts happen you know).
Hopefully someone there less snobbish will be kind enough to look at it.
Thanks.
Daniel

BTW nospam.com is a valid domain name. If you must mung your email, do
it properly with an address that is positively invalid. Example:
email.invalid

Well, since you didn't attempt to register it when you first started
doing it, it doesn't really matter does it? ;)
Joking aside, the only _safe_ domain names to use for address munging
purposes are those names specifically reserved so that they will
never actually become "real" domains (example.com, example.net).
or that are explicitly invalid (.invalid)
I seem to recall nospam.com having actually existed since the
nineties, though...

I would guess that with all the abuse from unclued munging people, they
don't even bother using email at that domain. <g>

I can't swear I've been using it since then, but it's a STRONG possibility.
Still, will change it to the example one. Much better. But whoever said
it, said it best: They must not use it at all....
