Hmm would it be too hard to:

a. leave the full name in
b. change the email address to
[base64 real email address encoded]-linux-test@news.fuller.edu

If an email then comes to that address, and it's a Reply: to an
earlier message (check References: and/or Re: in subject line) forward
the email to the real sender. Otherwise it's spam.

I'm considering doing this for my own usenet messages.

Mike.
