Multiple Addresses Confusing

1. Are there Pros of Segmail not mentioned?
---
Not that I can tell.

2. Are there Cons of Segmail not mentioned?
----
The address change at the beginning and the variance in address, strikes squarely at the idea OF an address, IMHO. Definitely non-intuitive and will put off the great unwashed masses of computer illiterates (read: clients).

3. Can you think of any constructive improvements or changes to this system?
----
If there was some way to integrate it into the -body- of the message or the subject line so that the email address would not have to change.

4. What do you think of it in general?
----
Anything that helps limit SPAM is A-OK with me - I'm already using SpamCop for an upstream filter; and loving it, BTW. I like SpamCop, but it does have the problem of false postives - I have to 'pick the filter' periodically to retrieve false-positive-screened messages from folks at high-spam-rate ISPs. Also, it has a cost/per year ($30) which is onerous, but saves enough time in mail processing and bandwidth to make it economical.

I think if we just burned a few spammers alive in public the issue would go away... sigh... unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen. I'm only half-joking. Spam in incredibly infuriating and STUPID.

I applaud you for trying to come up with a simple way to block it out entirely!!

Cheers!
