Correction -- ".nospam" Protection
By Robbie Rhodes

The example in Digest 980108 was incorrect.  It should be:

> Look at the "From:" line above, and notice that ".nospam" has been
> appended to the e-mail address:
>
>    From: rollreq@foxtail.com.nospam (MMD Administration)
>                             ^^^^^^^
> We have added this phony element in order to thwart automatic engines
> which search for your address for the junk e-mailers.
>
> But remember -- if you send a letter to me at that phony e-mail
> address, it will immediately bounce back to you!  You must delete the
> last element, ".nospam", to have a valid address when you reply to any
> MMD author.
