This is why I've posted to USENET using the (valid) email address
[EMAIL PROTECTED] for years - presumably when the 'nospam' is stripped it
creates an invalid address, but real users can still reply. I get a few spam
to that address, but not nearly as many as other addresses that have been
posted to newsgroups.
