We do what we can to protect ourselves and our clients from spam; all the sites we host have SpamAssassin software, and we take care not to publish e-mail addresses in a form in which they are easily recognised by spammers. But spammers are ingenious people – fortunately they sometimes use their ingenuity in unproductive ways. Roger recently produced this list of false names used by the senders of e-mails which had been trapped by one client’s spam filter:
