It comes off pretty glibly. If it works for you, great, but it is definitely a turn-off. Ordinarily I wouldn't care enough about it to tell you, but since you seem very interested in receiving opinions on this subject... The address you see in this "From:" line is public, is posted on a website, is the only email address I use, and has been in use for years, yet SpamAssassin deals with my spam very effectively. Your solution works for you, which is great, but I certainly think it is rude and I doubt it is the only technically viable way for you to deal with spam. As I said, though, I wouldn't ordinarily think you care what my opinion is, so I wouldn't bother to tell you or waste even two seconds thinking about it, but since you seem so interested in opinions...
