I see that you published my unobfuscated e-mail address on USENET for all to
see. I obfuscated it for a reason, to keep the spammers away. I'm assuming
this was a momentary lapse of judgement, for which I expect an apology.
Otherwise, it becomes grounds for an abuse complaint to your ISP.
I'm sorry...you've got your knickers in a knot? That your spam
filters seem to be insufficient? That you don't have a custom
throwaway address for such public dialogs? For preventing an
"undeliverable" bounce message that your bogus address would have
caused (if your mail provider is RFC-compliant; though your mail
provider may kindly be breaking RFC by disabling "undeliverable"
responses to prevent back-scatter spam)?
Is the abuse charge "waah, he replied to my actual email rather
than the false one I spoofed"?
I'm not sure an abuse complaint to my ISP would net you anything
since the exact out-bound headers show nothing abusive, only the
correcting of an invalid TLD to prevent a bounce (and a distinct
lack of USENET references in the original message that went to
you and CC'ed python-list@python.org).
Having regularly used python.l...@tim.thechases.com unobfuscated
for easily over 5 years, the spam to this address has been almost
negligible (or so effectively dealt with by Thunderbird's spam
filters that I've never noticed it).
