Any other FAQ maintainers out there getting a lot of junk mail? I am, and I
suspect that the junk mailers are scanning through news.answers or some
other such groups, getting lots of E-Mail addresses, and then using them.

For normal posts, I had to change my From: address in hopes of blocking out
some of the stuff. However, I still get lots of junk mail, and I'm
wondering if they're just getting my E-Mail address from the FAQ and then
mailing me.

So, I'm wondering if there's a way to use a bad E-Mail address to post the
FAQ in order to defeat some of these mass mailing programs...

WARNING: Any and all junk mail sent to my address(es) will be returned to
