I feel certain it supports it since all of the good modern MTAs support that and exim is a good one. Easier to try it and see that it works than to dig into the docs in this case. > The idea behind this is that mail to user+anything@localpart would > get delivered to user@localpart, allowing me (in my role as joe > user) to filter based on the suffix? Yes. It also allows you to set up other capabilities if you choose to use them. Such as your own personal mailing lists and things like that. But you don't need to use that capability. > On the other hand, if I feel like using [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my > return address in a public forum as a second-last resort (last > resort being total non-participation), that seems to me like a valid > choice.

All MTAs implement a nobody account which goes to /dev/null. It is not specific to spamcop.net. Why penalize Spamcop for your trouble? It just means they have to process the mail and throw it away. (Of course it is only a small trouble.) Using nobody at your own domain should be good enough for that. Of course if you are a subscriber to spamcop and are donating money to them then they would probably be fine with that. Bob
