I use to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] as my email address and noticed that somehow that got chopped up (probably by some shoddy coding) to arris, rris, ris, and is. The best thing I did was to just have sendmail reject them. That way the overhead of having to process them never exists. They are just thrown out.
