Description terrynorth 2006-11-19 23:49:14 UTC 
I have within the last few days received received two emails purporting to be
returns of emails which I have sent using my address at openoffice.org.

The emails emanate from different quarters.

Is it possible to secure the login names so that they cannot be used in that
fashion?

It occurs to me that the solution is easy to implement.  Simply bounce all
emails sent to users at the openoffice address; after all, those addresses were
never meant to be used as email addresses.
