I've been posting my real live address(es) to usenet for over a
decade. Now that I'm also a deputy postmaster, this usually means
that any spammers that get past the filters stand a good chance of
hitting me - and going straight into an appropriate new filter rule
before they hit our users.

The occasional dumb spammer even hits the 'postmaster' address!

As a colleague says: the gene pool sure needs a little more
chlorine...
