assume, for shitsNgiggles, that your email account goes away.
any email intended for you will snoop around, looking for your
account, and when it gives up, it would get returned to sender,
which is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
now, obviously that's not likely to be a real account on
lists.debian.org, but the email system there can glean from the
address, WHOSE ACCOUNT BOUNCED:
# perl
m/=([^=]+)=(.+)\@/;
$bounced = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
# or s/.*=([^=]+)=([EMAIL PROTECTED]).*/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
they can then decide (after the first bounce? after five of
seven bounces? after 80% bounces in three consecutive days? they
can set it up however they like) to remove you from their
'send-to' list.
cool, eh?
