And for benefit of the uninitiated reading the above, this is an extremely bad thing to do by default. It's something you might do for special circumstances, but not in the normal run of things. NB: Log-in is not sped up, it still takes the same amount of time. You're just not being asked to authenticate.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
