Yes, I likely hit the reply to author link. The spamtrap address is
domain mail set up to send outgoing mail, but to dump all incoming
mail at once to avoid spam. Without it posting on Usenet becomes a
nightmare. You can ban the spammers, but the worst of them change
their address and even mail service fairly often.
