I know. And my From address is, in fact, valid (see signature). I find 
it quite clever to actually INCLUDE a "nospam." part in the address
and thus confuse spamming software; the only problem is if humans
start messing with the address because they are used to invalid From
headers. Removing "nospam." WILL make the address invalid.

Thanks, I will try to get something going.

I feel exactly the same way which is why I am using a valid From
header. But to confuse people as little as possible I still would want
mails to have my "real" address.
