I occasionally see things like...
dgatwood@delete-this.globegate.utm.edu
or dgatwood@anti-spam.globegate.utm.edu
Instead of
dgatwood@globegate.utm.edu
with a note in the .sig. Kinda works, I guess. Problem is, if your real
address is anywhere in the message, you could be a target (just run pine
and do a T to get an address into the guestbook and you'll see how easy it
is to find addresses in bodies of messages....) For which reason, I
include an added line at the end of my .sig, just for fun. :-)
