I tend to avoid that, because it just invites some people to have a go. However, in most posts to a mailing list your IP is in the mail headers. I remember my early forays into the net. Almost any time you did a public post, you'd see a slew of connected attempts reported by the firewall, very shortly after. Bots watch public arenas, and just automatically tried to penetrate any addresses they thought were currently on-line. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.6.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 17 13:59:11 UTC 2020 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
