I know, but 'twasn't anon, that's my key point against it. If I wanted
to use my own domain name on here, I could do so, in any manner of
different ways, and still block reception of mail to it (null
sub-domains, non-existent mail boxes, etc.). You weren't telling me
anything that I didn't already know, thought about, and rejected long
ago.

The one who missed things was you. I wasn't using pseudonyms, I already
had an address that blocked spam, and it was a real e-mail address. My
mail client was already set up exactly as you were telling me to change
it to ("from" addressing information, etc.). You looked at the wrong
information (message IDs and mail SERVER addresses in the headers).
Look again... this time not quoting the information. I'd have to stuff
up using proper domain names throughout my entire computer network to
remove that information.
