Story: Fool spammers with multiple email addresses

• 
• 

This is nonsense. All it does is make it easier to filter spam, but the fact is that the spam is still delivered to your inbox to be automaticaly deleted. This uses up internet bandwidth, and even more so as you now have multiple addresses to spam and not just one single address, so you'll receive multiple copies of the same spam!
Think before you consider doing this!

The best way to not receive spam is not to publish your email address in a publically visible place. If you must display your email address, display it as a .jpg image or use java to hide it so that the spam spiders don't find it. Whatever you do, NEVER post on usenet using your real email address!
