When I did that, I found that the postmaster address was receiving
bucketloads of spam every day, and maybe 2-3 legitimate mails per
YEAR. Now my postmaster address is protected by Zen and basic HELO
checks.
But indeed, this gives me an idea: rather than a contact form, I
might try a form which generates a limited-use non-blocked address.
The next hurdle: how to present it in a way such that the end user
can see/use it, and yet protect it from harvesting bots?
