Well, all the spam I get is because I don't obfuscate my From: line in
Usenet postings. I was able to filter this, because the host I post
news from is not the host I receive legitimate mail to, until one day
I replied via e-mail to a response that was gated through the python
mail<->news gateway, thus leaking my normal personal e-mail address
into Usenet.

Sometimes self-defense takes precedence over etiquette. Indeed,
etiquette must occasionally change due to prevailing circumstances.
