Just a thought, only tangentially related to Exim:

It's already been noted that Cyber Promotions is removing ".nospam" and
the like from e-mail addresses it culls from the internet.

Any temporary address that is based on real-name-plus-suffix could just
as easily be subverted, I'm afraid )-:

for example, doug-97191 (2 weeks from today) being translated to doug,
what would stop Spamford from doing the same thing (ie just drop every-
thing after the - ?)
