Re: Cypherpunks afraid of spam?

From: "Cynthia H. Brown" <cynthb@sonetis.com> Date: Sun, 16 Feb 1997 23:02:02 -0500 So, if I put root@127.0.0.1 in the "From:" field of my news reader's configuration, all of my posts will give this as my e-mail address. More likely to be delivered is root@[127.0.0.1] or root@localhost.nceye.net or similar. The thing to the right has to be a name or a numeric address *in brackets*. Yes, this doesn't seem to make terribly much sense. Another approach if you can do it is to get an alias that looks like a message-ID. All my outgoing usenet posts lately have said From: Bryan Reece <23je8s$ksd@taz.nceye.net> at the top, and no spam has come to that address.
