:-)

I have to point out that I'm getting spam to some new accounts which
have only been used to send email to mailing lists which munge addresses
with the "me at cgf dot cx" method, so this isn't foolproof.

<idle speculation>
Hmm.  I wonder if I just replaced all of the '@'s with a png of an '@',
if that would foil the spammers.
<pause>
Nope.  Wouldn't work for the text archives.
</idle speculation>

I *really* have to dust off the filter that I was working on which
removed the host part of "unimportant" email addresses before they got
to the archives.
