To spammers, probably not. To mailbombers and other ne'er-do-wells, it's perfect. > Also, if the '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > address is not too widely disclosed, there shouldn't be chance. I'd be surprised if a dictionary harvester didn't try test@, spam@, and any other dictionary word. They already check most common and not-so-common names. > Finally, if it becames to be abused, he would easily change address. He could, assuming he notices before too much abuse takes place. But by that time, other people have already been inconvenienced by it, and he might already be getting listed on blacklists besides. Why not solve the problem *before* it's a problem? It's very little extra effort, for something you won't have to worry about again. The "if it's abused, I'll change it" approach is more effort (watch those logs!) and more worry (is anyone abusing it yet?).
