I've been spammed like crazy after going on Usenet on an unprotected account. By that I mean, that I had my e-mail address in the "From:" and "Reply-to:" fields. To go around this you can put a blank space (leandro @ifront.com for example). At least in the mailing lists like this one there isn't that much of a worry for spamming =) Perhaps we could have that the mail program checks the domain from where the mail is coming from, and if the domain is invalid it rejects the mail.
