If I've already registered, can I post from another address? See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Though some readings of the RFCs (RFC stands for Request for Comment-- these documents serve as Internet Standards; see <URL:http://info.internet.isi.edu/7c/in-notes/rfc/.cache> to search for RFCs on a certain subject) prohibit spam blocking or header munging, the desire to avoid spam is legitimate. We realize that there are many positions on this sometimes controversial topic. In fact, if you do not wish to see posts with a munged From: header, feel free to killfile those posts. All posters who register under a munged address will have the following header included in all approved articles: X-Unverified-Address: yes Newsreaders with decent killfile functionality will allow people who don't want to read articles with unrepliable addresses to avoid hair pulling. Keep in mind, however, that an article that does not contain the X-Unverified-Address: header is not necessarily automatically repliable. People's addresses do change and configuration errors do occur. If an article does not have the X-Unverified-Address: header, that means we were able to send mail to it once--the address may no longer be valid. An easy rule of thumb is the X-Unverified-Address: header (or lack thereof) is merely an indication and not a definitive statement.
