I agree. Whenever I subscribe to some list I use an account name which I can
waste. But I take it one step further by using a unique name for each company
that i leave an address with. If I then get spam with one of those I can tell
who gave it out.
It's worse when you get spammed on the webmaster name as many servers won't
deal with you without that account in place. Admin is another name I'm now
switching away from. Instead I use various alterations of what used to be
standard names.
What I don't understand is how it takes a week or two to switch. Or do you
mean for you to change the email with every list you are on?
